Ok, call me an idiot now and get it over...i took my cluster out to replace the burned out bulbs a couple days ago. Putting it all back together but i cant remember where the 2 wired sockets went in to the cluster vs just the 1/4 twist sockets. Anybody?

Can't say I've seen two of them on a cluster. The "wires" are actually fiber optic cables and one goes to the ash tray and is placed in the top right corner of the cluster as you are looking at it from the front.

One is a single black wire socket the other is 2 whites and a black wire. Fiber optic? Really?

The one with two wires is for the four wheel drive light. The fiber optic one is for the backlight, the cable goes to the ash tray.
