I'm confused... I bought some wedge LEDs from eBay and I installed them but when my cluster is all the way in my gauges work but no illumination, if I wiggle it and it's pulled out a little the LEDs light up but my gauges go crazy and won't work... Any ideas what I can do?

Make sure the contacts on the led bases line up correctly with the contacts inside the twistlocks. Also, make sure they're not 180 degrees out of rotation, as alot of leds are polarized, meaning they have a negative and positive, whereas a bulb works in either direction. Also, make sure you keep your dimmer turned all the way up, if they aren't dimmable leds, else you'll burn out your leds prematurely.
