Default Interior light problems

I have a '05 2500 and I bought some led lights for the dome and overhead consol lights. Tge dome works fine, tge nab lights don't work at all, but the glass bulbs still work. When I did put the led's in, the dome had a slight glow. Anyone have an idea on what I can do to get the led's to work?

Also, my odometer lights burnt out. Do I need to replace the whole cluster for that? Thanks for any help.

on the overhead bulbs may be in backwards leds will only work one way and as for the dome light you will need a 1/8tn watt 470ohm Resistor on each bulb that will stop the slight glow and resume the normal operation of dome/map light and as for the the gauge cluster the cluster has 11 bulbs in the 05 and can be replaced with B8.5 led bulbs not sure of the part number of factory bulbs B8.5 Are the replacement bulb in LED but as for the odometer not sure what to fix that it backlit separately I think
