thanks for the replies back , i tried using the original base after wards , after it smoked already and it didnt work either with the led, then i tried putting back the standard bulbs in the OEM base and now the base strethced out too much from the LED bulb so the standard bulb just keeps falling out
i purchased the #74 bulb also like the one you showed in ur post so guess it had to be using thier base ,thats the only thing i can think of , their base is a lil longer u can look at the pics i posted maybe it was too long n touched sumthing inside the cluster ? , im not even sure
the dealer wants $8 for one bulb and base, they wont sell the base by itself, so if i want another base i have to buy a bulb from them
i have been calling junk yards like crazy in my area n out of the 100 i have called so far only 2 have the same cluster i need but with more miles on it , i talked to the dealer and they want $400 but then need to send it out to sumplace to have it programed with my miles on it
one dealer i called wanted $900 thats just insane, the junkyards want $200 but they not close to my milege yet, ebay had one for $100 buy it now but it was for a 2003 , it had the same features as my cluster with around the same milege but also had P R N D D1 D2 on the cluster as well, so if i would buy it i dont think they would light up if mine didnt have it
if the 2003 one would work with mine i would buy it but im not sure if it would work and the guy selling it doesnt know either so im still looking for a cluster, buyin it from the dealer sounds like way too much money for one
and if i do find a replacement used cluster i still kinda wanna put the LED in there again i do like the blue look , lol but i dont know if i wanna go thru this problem again , hopefully i just find a cluster with my same miles that works
if anyone here knows sumone i need a 2002 white face cluster for an LE with 4x4 drive displayed on there
