LED bulbs for dash

Call me the LED king. I just installed LED bulbs in my dash including all the "warning" lights (Check engine, brake,choke,highbeams) I found a place that sells them for cheap. I like it so far. It is a little dimmer than before, but I am installing white face overlays only. I installed a blue one in my Heater/AC controls. It looks cool! I need to do some juggling around and order other ones since I ordered 2 of every type of bulb, leaving my with odd buls in odd places. Like a green one in my tach. I put green LEDs in place of my turn signal indicators and like it much better.

Problems:
I cracked almost all the mounting tabs off the cluster. I knew it was going to happen....

My temp. gauge has stopped working. Probably just a loose connector???

My voltmeter now reads slightly more that it used to (1-1.5 volts). Why would this happen?? Weird.
