Some dash lights wont turn off after LED swap
Last weekend I replaced most of the bulbs in my instrument cluster with LED's. They all work fine but the airbag, ABS, and parking brake lights never completely shut off, they stay on but are dim. I used the same bulbs in the turn signals, high beams, service engine, and check gauges and those all work properly. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance

I bought the bulbs on eBay in 10 packs, they were 194s and 74s I think. There are 5 194s in the cluster and I don't remember exactly how many 74s there were but 10 wasn't enough.

LED will only work on 1 side, if they dont turn on take it out and reinstall them with a 180 degres turn, should work

For an 03 you will need 6 194s (or T10s)

Yes, you will need to find the sockets for them. GM decided to weld the stock bulbs in them so they are a pain/impossible to reuse. You can usually find them in junkyards.
