Was the fuse blown to begin with? If not, then you must've done something when you switched your lights. Retrace your steps. Put your stock lights back and see what happens.
 
it was a burned from the top of the fuse so i just switched it out but im going to take it out and see if i can get it to work[DOUBLEPOST=1415671902][/DOUBLEPOST]nothing. honestly im stumped

Lights are pretty simple. Either
1. You hooked something up wrong and have to retrace your steps.

2. Wires are touching and blew a fuse. I don't know what you were referring too when you said it was burned from the top fuse and you replaced it?? If that fuse was blown and you replaced it, the next time you try putting your lights on if there's a short it gonna blow again. That's its job so you don't have a fire.

3. I'm not sure if it controls dash lights but I know it does control some interior lights, check the alt fuse buy the battery it's a big one like 80 or 100amp can't remember off the top of my head.[DOUBLEPOST=1415974987][/DOUBLEPOST]And just for clarity, did you dash lights work prior to you doing this?
 
yes lights worked perfectly fine they jus blew out im going to try that fuse you said maybe it will work...
 
Not sure if the dimmer module is compatible with LED's (it's designed for incandencent bulbs). Try unplugging the dimmer and jumper the black-yellow wire to the black. If it now works (although you may need a series resistor), you blew the dimmer.
 
okay im gonna do that however dimmer wasnt working before this and my dash lights worked?
 
Does anyone know what feeds the dash lights I cant find a hakf decent diagram need pins behind guage cluster
 
Generally if the dimmer switch doesn't work the dash lights won't either.
