Ok I did a led swap on my 90 240 gauge cluster. Now my gas gauge goes way up past full none of the other gauges work the clock is even out. Then when I put on the lights the gauge lights flash. It does this with the leds and the stock lights is this normal is there something that controls the gauges and lights. This is a analog and non HUD.
