Default Gauge cluster lights

OK so I just changed out my stock bulbs with LEDs just to maybe make my gauges brighter, but now my fog lights wont come on and the right blinker arrow wont work, the blinker works just not the arrow. I dunno what's going on, any help?

Put the stock bulbs back in and see if your problem goes away...

Some of those LED bulbs for the clusters are junk. Replace it with a known good one. Folks have had to jiggle, push, and twist on them to get them to light.

Prior to fastening down the 4 bolts that secure it to the dash, plug in just the two upper cluster wiring connectors and test those lights.
