Smoke...yipes!!!

It is replaceable.

Most auto stores have them.

Squeeze the tabs and remove that section of the bulkhead connector. Use a thin tool to release the tab for the packard connector from the housing, pop it out and replace it.

The question is why did it pop? You removed the cluster to put leds in, is something pinched and grounded? Re-check what you did!

Just trying to get this straight in my head...I think there are 3 square black plastic connectors? I guess they are ,that attach to the bulkhead...okay so squeeze the tabs together to remove the square black connector that houses the burned link wire...then I need to release the burned wire from this black connector by using a thin blade...okay so far...then the new wire will just slip right into the black square connector...then put the black square connector back on the bulkhead...splice the opposite end of the new wire to the good part of the original wire above the black bulb???...been up practically all night with this going thru my head and really just would like to move on...get the burned wire replaced and carry on from there...Marla
