Daniel,
Check the wiring of the LEDs.  LEDs are polarity sensitive.  The D in LED stands for Diode.
You may have reversed the wires.  Don't always believe the wire colors.

I recently upgraded my 65 Corsa gauge cluster to include a second CHT gauge
and LED lights. For reasons unknown, I cant get it to light up when I turn
the lights on. I know that it's well grounded because both temp gauges snap
to attention, the headlight indicator works as well as the turn signal and
GEN Fan lights. Am I missing something?

Thank you,
Daniel Atkinson
