I want to replace the ones behind the needles. Or, buy a new assembly with the lights already fixed to it.
If the ones you're talking about that aren't working are LEDs then you just need to flip the bulb 180 degrees to reverse which direction the polarity of the bulb is. If they still don't work after that then they're more than likely burnt out. If the ones you're talking about are incandescent bulbs, it's a burnt out bulb.

One of the LEDs in my gauge cluster is flickering and doesn't stay lit half the time now, I think either the bulb is faulty or it's just loose and doesn't have a good connection to the terminals to get power. Eventually I'll fix it but it's too much trouble to pull my dash all apart to get to the gauge cluster for one bulb. Also, one of my turn signal bulbs has burnt out in my gauge cluster, but I don't think I replaced those ones when I swapped my truck to all LEDs.

Has anyone here ever used the spyder led tail lights? Opinions on them. I have heard that they are cheaply made and the led diodes die fast. But all I ever hear is stories of I know a guy that tried them never a I have used them. Input would be great. Thanks. Btw my truck is a 2001 F150 Screw.

Here's the pic to go with it. Circled areas get LED replacements. Ones in Black bulb holders are the 194's.
