Those bulbs the 194s, they screw into the back of the cluster or did they plug straight in?
If they screwed in with a socket type thing,
sometimes they only make contact when screwed in the one way, migth check that.
Also look at the plug in on the harness/cluster to see that all the pins are straight and not bent over.
Other than that it would hav to be a contact problem,
since the smaller one work.
Hav you tried switching the old bulbs back in to see if they work?
Good Luck!
