Default LED install problems

In my previous thread, I mentioned that the smd LED light bulbs I purchased from 07 silvervette 17 did not work when I turned on the lights during the daytime. Later Friday evening when I was driving home from work, I turned on the lights and the dash did light up. However, the display was not bright. I turned the light switch and the dash did not get any brighter. Also when I use the turn signal, the dash flashes. The signal indicator lights never worked but the right side indicator flashes now. The LED bulbs are blue. I'm thinking theres a problem with the light switch because with the regular bulbs, the dimmer would not darken or brightem the dash. Any suggestions????

Im not sure about your problem but I ordered from him and they worked great for me, and he told me that if there is any problem with the bulb that he would replace them, Im not sure if this was a limited time thing but he said hes only had to replace like 2 bulbs ever, so Im sure something just got knocked loose during the install or something of that nature

sorry I didnt really help at all but I guess this can serve as a bump
