dash cluster led question

hello
i`ve got a 06 tacoma, 4dr, full cab, 4wd that i`ve replaced most of the stock leds in the dash cluster with blue leds, .....the odometer, turn signals, shift indicator leds, and a few of the warning/indicator leds....these all working fine, but the four guages - speedo, tach, temperature, and fuel i`ve only been able to get the outer set of leds to work. These guages have 1 or more leds placed near where the stepper motor/needle shaft pokes threw the board, and 1 or more ledsout toward the ends of where the needle reaches....speedo has 3, tach 2, and temp and fuel 1 each.....the outer leds on all 4 guages are working, but none of the inner leds on all 4 guages are working....i found on the speedo led pads that they appear to be in series with each other, using an ohm meter. I have soldered them both ways, anode to cathode and cathode to anode, but cant seem to get any to work , i`ve attached a drawing of the speedo led pads showing how i attached them and i also reversed them from what my drawing shows, but neither way do any of them work.....can anybody help with correct orientation of the leds with respect to anodes and cathodes? or a picture showing the orientation of them, theres a alittle notch or dot on one of the corners of the led package that represent the anode or cathode(they can be different from one manufacturer to another)
thank you

 

anybody got a pic of the circuit board with the stock leds on it for reference, so i can see the orientation of the leds?
thanks
