Dash lights not workin????

[GUY]

OK, so I got my gauges in and all wired up...They work fine. I have them hooked up to the dimmer switch, & like I said they work great and they dim. Here is my problem, none of my dash lights work. I cut the green wire, I know that was a bad idea. But I took it apart twisted the green wire back together and soldered it....still don't work? I spliced into the black & yellow wire aswell to cmoplete the dim effect but none of my dash lights work? what went wrong?

any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Wait so did the interior lights work before? My guess would be yes. I would first check the fuse just to be on the safe side. If you have a test light open the fuse box and press against the fuse that is for the interior lights and see if the light lights up. Im assuming that you might of blew a fuse.. Happens to me alot when im messing with my electrical.

If I were you I would try disconnecting the gauge lights and just wiring the dimmer switch back to factory. If you still don't have dash lights you probably need a new dimmer switch or rheostat, thats the official name.

Here's what I used to do my lighting. http://www.vfaq.com/mods/gaugelit.html
