Did you replace the bulbs with new filament-in-glass bulbs it with LED bulbs.

If the glass route, did you get 194 bulbs?

?

Do you have the polarity on the LED's correct? They have a distinct positive and negative which isn't marked on the cluster because regular bulbs will work in either direction. I think you got 20% lucky on the LED placement.
