I tried to replace the lights in the speedo cluster, and the cigi light with the LED wedge lights... They worked well, but not long after they were in, some of them started to flash.. Then some just stopped working... So I converted them all back to normal globes..

I have seen this hapen to other people to .. Nothing wrong with the globes, just the way the FTO puts current through to them ..
