Did the LED conversion in my cluster and now most of them don't work, so I thought about tapping into the light wire (that way I can still dim them) and hard wiring some LED strips and glue them on the outer side of the cluster all the way around so the light is evenly spread out. Would this work? And if so what strip would you use.

did you use resistors with the leds? did you match up the positive leg of the led with the posistive side on the board? I am no expert but I have done quite a few led's and they are easy.

Yeah did the resistors and made sure the +/- were on the right side, the only thing I could think is maybe the soder came undone. But I was still thinking of do the strips that way there isn't any dark spots.

How do you know which one is positive or negative on the LED lights?

 

[lerbud]

on the led bulb the positive side is longer

you can test your work with a 9v battery. takes all the guess work out of it before you put the cluster back together.

So I would guess it does not matter which way the resistor is?
