led project is not all plug and play

the only replacment plug leds that the 74 bulb worked for is the odometer, the speedometer and tack and fuel and the turn signails(but i cant see anything flashing now with signals on)do i need to pull green filter off of the turn signals, or could the leds be backwards , but i pulled the clock one out and it was smaller and sottered so needless to say i broke my clock light, so which bulb is a direct replacement of the clock and all the ac mode and auto switches on the ac display,anybody with knowledge of this please let me know

don't pull the filters off the turn signals. just check the bulbs and make sure they are coming on. you can plug in the cluster while leaving it loose from the dash. also if you just used plug in LEDs and did not add any you probably have hot spots on you gauges.
as for the clock light i have never pulled that but i know other poeple have. there is a thread around that covers the entire center dash LED swap.

ohhh you talking about the arrows on your cluster gauge is that not flashing its probably because your wire for the E lights is not plug in

Turn signals will not work if your hazard switch isn't plugged in.

Also, be aware that those replacement LEDs will more than likely start to flicker or burn out in a few months.

flip the bulb around, try a different bulb and try the original again. next is to get a test light and see if you are getting juice to that location.
