Ok, heres the deal. I put the LED lights in my cluster but now the right side of my MPH gauge is not illuminating and the left side of my RPM is not lit either. I took the cluster back out and it looks like the circuit board where the sockets connect are wore out. My question is will I have to buy a new cluster or maybe there is an inexpensive fix? I thought about aluminum foil but I am not sure if that will work. Here is what I am looking at.

Try reversing the polarity of the LEDs. Unless you get non-polarized LEDs, the polarity matters.
I had thought of that and already tried. Didn't work. It just looks like the circuit board has worn though to me and not making contact. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Ive fixed a printed circuit before with a rear window defogger repair kit. The kit is about 25 bucks. They also make a 2 part conductive epoxy but that's a little pricy.
Thanks Teksid, I didn't even think about that. it would be a lot better fix than foil for sure. I guess just any auto parts store i can pick it up from?
Does it work with the regular bulbs in?
I put them back in and its the same situation. Looks like the center light is not working. switched bulb positions and verified bulbs are working.
