LEDs have a polarity, if a bulb isn't lighting it up, take it out and turn it 180°. This is totally normal.

[@Hunterrnorris]

I mentioned I switched them around and still didn’t have any luck, I’ve had multiple sets of LEDs. I think I just got a bad batch.

[@robbalinski1606]

​@Hunterrnorris pretty common to get bad ones. I think 30% of the ones I bought were bad out of the box. There cheap enough it's not really a big deal.

[@NicKage13]

Love the dodge content

[@JohnMiggs]

Here I was waiting for your dashboard to explode

[@Hunterrnorris]

If theirs one thing I can always count on, it’s a dodge dash falling apart haha

[@jeffwilliams4676]

Keep doing videos of this Dodge truck.

[@Hunterrnorris]

I try to only upload videos when something goes wrong with it, but it’s honestly pretty reliable

[@user-id9ou2np8g]

Incandescent bulbs are voltage driven. The LEDs are current driven, meaning a proper dimmer uses a PWM circuit instead of a potentiometer.

[@440phoenix]

I was thinking of doing the same thing to my Ram. It is strange that the lower center of the cluster is more dim than the rest.

[@Hunterrnorris]

Yea, I even tried another bulb and flipped it around, but still the same result

[@asielflores7419]

⁠@@HunterrnorrisIt does work, you just have to change the correct lights. I did the same thing on my 2nd gen and it looks great and isn’t dim in weird areas

[@richardbates2367]

Mine doesn't have that issue with the one bulbs but not the factory cluster for the truck it's in . stepper motor failure and that led to a botched solder pin terminal repair that burned through the printed circuit

[@matthewroberts2450]

Do you have a link on the bulbs you bought?

[@Hunterrnorris]

I tried looking, I can’t seem to find them now. But theirs plenty that are similar. Many guys run the Auxito ones and have had luck. I think I might have a different year

[@epicawesome3655]

What were the bulbs you bought the second time?

[@Hunterrnorris]

@@epicawesome3655 I wouldn’t use them, the company usually has good stuff, but I must of got a bad batch

[@mattleibrock]

I also want to know if u can swap a 01 cluster in a 96

[@Hunterrnorris]

Not 100% sure. I do know thats two different types of dashes tho, so it might have fitment issues

[@richardbates2367]

Nope different dash and i believe the plug is pinned differently and i don't think it is even the same plug?!

[@mattleibrock]

Is your paint emerald green or forest green

[@Hunterrnorris]

It’s pretty faded, but it’s supposed to be emerald green

[@richardpadilla5838]

Now Ill def not do this in my 2nd gen!!

[@nickwinter2145]

You need to take the ones that are not on in the bottom half and turn them they aren't in correctly

[@Ricky-pi9kk]

Thank,s for doing this video Brother...I WONT BE DOING MY 97...You went thru alot of BullShit for nothing😮😮

[@jlrockafella]

You used the wrong leds bro😂

[@61espo]

Don’t even buy a Dodge! PERIOD!

Does Your mum knows ,that You do drugs ??

Typical Ford owner ^^^^^

[@61espo]

@@kx45043 I don’t own a Ford Mr Know it All…. I own a Toyota Tacoma.

[@kx45043]

That's even worse🤣🤣 I never said I knew it all. Calm down buddy.

[@61espo]

@@kx45043 You need to calm down and I’m not you’re buddy… I could care less what you drive and I know you don’t know it all and the fact that you think Toyota is worse than Ford Chevy or Dodge tells me you have no common sense at all. Have a nice day.😂
