Question dash lights out after installing white face gauges

This might be an easy answer but just to make sure. I installed NR auto's white gauge face for my fd and now my entire dash lights don't come on including glove box. I tried putting back the factory gauge face and lights still don't come on. Could it be a blown fuse???

it's probably just a loose connector somewhere. did the gauges work ok? cruise control, lighter? check everything...it's easy to forget stuff back there. i doubt its a blown fuse. make sure you didn't rip any part of the flexible circuit board.

Check your connection for the dimmer switch. I initially had a problem with my tack due to the fact that the stock one concaved in around the base of the needle. All I did was use the double sided tape that was included around the middle section of the new gauge face and the needle never gets caught on the face. About the lights check the dimmer switch. You have to have it installed to get any of the interior lights to work.

they stick to the needle cause its to thick?

Thats what i read.

Also, it can be a blown fuse cause i had the same problem and it had nothing to do with the gauges not working.

check the room fuse and see if its blown.

If that is out, the back taillight shouldn't come on when you turn the lights on.

When you press the brake, it should work, but other then that, it shouldn't.

They don't stick to the needle, it's just that the tach is resessed. And you must glue back the white face to clear.
