gauge lighting

i just replaced all my interior lighting in my 1997 f150 because some of my old ones where out. while i had the dash apart i figured i would put led lights in. i got it all put together and the same lights where out on the dash. i have no light on the right side of my spedo. and all of my tach is out except for the needle does anyone know what might be causing this

I have read several posts about the dash lights not working because of a bad solder joint on the rear. I'm not sure it affects the whole panel or just half of it like you mentioned. I'm also not sure what years have the problem.

Search the forum for dash light problems and you should be able to find some of the posts with the way to repair it if that's your problem.
