Reverse Glow Gauges

[EDM95]

I was wondering if any one ever installed them?
How did you install them?
The reason is because my gauge lights dont work.
I was thinking of getting the gauges.
What should i do?

do your running lights (parking lights, and rear tail lights, not brake lights) work? if not id say the fuse is blown under the hood. id check to be sure

They work.
hmm i wonder what could be the problem?
What fuse would it be?

Dash gauge lights not working is usually due to a blown dimmer switch (which provides a varying ground). Unplug the dimmer and connect the black/yellow wire to the black. If it now works thats the problem. You can leave it connected this way if you don't mind full intensity (no adjustment but far cheaper than a dimmer).

yea, i had a dimmer switch go before. There should be no reason to why you need all new guages, unless you just want them. Good luck

Reverse glow guages still use the original needles also, which uses the factory dimmer switch. So you should fix the dimmer unless you don't mind have needles not lit at night. The dimmer provided with the new guages just dims the color of the actual face you bought. To do this just take out your cluster, take off the shields and then slide the new faces over the old ones and pop the cluster back in. Goodluck

I will try that and see if that is the problem.
Thank you everyone.
i will let you know if they work.

looks like the dimmer switch was blown.
