Before replacing your cluster, read the thread on "Cluster Swap". It will identify what works, and what won't when replacing your stock cluster with another model cluster.

Thank you for the tip I'll be sure to look it up when I get around to that project.

So, I don't know what I did wrong when I tried this the first time. I'm trying hard to remember but maybe I tried this when I had the blown fuse in the fuse box before I replaced it. Hmmm.. In any case, I tried this again, and viola, both map lights work. BOTH LED bulbs must have been in backwards.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Side Note: That Battery Saver Fuse being replaced got my rear window defroster working again!
