problem with instrument panel lights

[cold_forever]

i got some 194 red bulbs and replaced my old ones with them and now i have 1 out of 5 lights working. did i bend something wrong and is it an easy fix?

[pimpalero2003]

take the lights out and turn them around u have 2 get them perfect i had the same problem

i tried that for some reason all the bulbs are really loose and i cant figure it out

[pimpalero2003]

u busted out the glass so hook 1 up and plug it in check and see if it works then solider it to the post on the holder then repeat or just go on ebay and buy some gagues for like 35 bucks shipped

so what do you mean solder on the post? so if i get some plain white bulbs again and plug them in should they just work again? because the red bulbs fit tight but wont turn on and the white ones are real lose

^ the socket probably broke. Just run some led's in there if you can't get the 194's to work.
