@ScottyBoy thanks for the advice.

I looked at the HVAC controller opened it up and said nope haha. Looks like I'll be sticking to these unless you or someone else could drop a pic of the circuit board

Does this have to do with the guage cluster at all?

What repairs can fix the P0650 code?
Several repairs can fix a P0650 trouble code and include: * Replace damaged or burned out bulb or LED * Properly seat bulb for correct electrical connection * Replace damaged or corroded wiring and related electrical connectors * Straighten bent pins and repair or replace damaged terminals * Replace burned out fuse(s)* Replace damaged or defective ECM (rare) * Clear all codes, test-drive the vehicle, and rescan to see if any codes reappear

Is your check engine light working? Maybe it has something to do with your led bulb conversion. Something loose maybe?

Keep us updated.

Will do I'm gonna put "The Foreigner" on and figure these guages out. The only thing I can think is that my genius effort to make the light diffuse better i used aluminum foil. I think maybe it might be shorting something out intermittently. Maybe around the oil guage.

If it was me I'd look for really small scorch marks on the foil.

Thanks I'll look for that! All lights work, all guages work. The only thing that has been active weird since the swap is prior to the swap the oil guage was pegged at 80 now it occasionally goes all over the place and I get the annoying low oil pressure ding
