weird led dash concerns

I just installed some led bulb size 74 behind the odometer where those check engine light and battery light, etc. It works great but the airbag light would stay on forever even with key off or on, but the light is only lit up like 1/4 bright instead of fully orignally 100% bright as it should.
Also it's the same for my battery light too but the rest is okay.
If i switched it to stock bulb then everything is fine.

Color is red and cheap off ebay.lol

Is this a question? I actually did the same exact thing, replaced all those tiny bulbs with LEDs. The airbag and battery light never went off, one was dim, the other bright. I used regular bulbs in those spots. That is the solution, but you already figured that out lol.

why would you want to replace those bulbs to led? you will hardly ever see them on....really no point, just leave them alone

only ones worth replacing are the speedometer and tach

Replacing them with led just for the fun of it and one time i turned on my headlights and the battery light was gone but now back again.And i just wanted to see if anyone had similar situations and seems like their is someone lol. I guess i'm just gonna leave it at that then.

Here's a pic of mine after I redid all of them with LEDs. I wanted LED so that I could make the yellow red and the green blue. This pic shows the regular bulb in the battery indicator compared to the rest LED (I later removed the airbag LED).
