Gauges light up only when headlights off

Hello,

So I have a problem where I do not see the gauges at all when my headlights are on, but when I turn them off the gauges light up.
Also today I just installed a new Pioneer radio and well could I have messed up some wires?
It's like everything is the opposite.
Please help as I have no idea how fast I'm driving at night and speed cameras are everywhere lol.

Sounds like the ground wire and power need to be switched, but I'm not positive on that. Have you tried using a test light to find the correct switched wire?

Fixed it! Thanks for your reply, but it was just a blown fuse! Fuse number 21.
I read through the forums and someone said to check if your tail lights are working, and one was dead. I looked through my fuse box and it was obvious that this one was blown.
