i'll have to pull the cluster again to see what the incandescent leads look like. if i can explain the leads on the leds.. it's like one long lead comes out on each side of the "wedge" and wraps around the wedge base and up the other side. they are nowhere close to touching.

You have to look at how the socket is configured. If there is a broad contact on each side, then you have a chance at connecting both sides together, outside the LED itself, which will blow the fuse. Kind of like you have a wire connecting the socket terminal on one side to the socket terminal on the other side. Maybe two, actually.
