Gauges Dont Light up!!!!???
K guys, I have a very weird problem...
I recently got OZ Gauges for my ES, but Im real tired of looking at the red gauges when I have no red in my car at all... so I decide to sway the "condom" things from the ES gauges to the OZ ones. I did it without a problem... but when I put the gauges back in my car, they wouldnt light up!! I mean, all the turnsignal lights, high beam, check engine lights and stuff all work, but the gauge bulbs themselves as well as the needles no longer light up!
Did a wire come loose? Please help!! I also tried the ES gauges and same thing - everything works but the needles and the gauge bulbs. I checked the fuse and its fine....

you checked the dimmer switch right? my freinds car did that and he would wiggle the dimmer switch and they would flicker back on.
and check your fuses.<-------------more than likely your problem if your ES gauges wount work.
and on a totally unrelated note, do you have a pic of the Evolution VIII "Endurance" FB for $550 + shipping!

Yup, I checked the dimmer right away - that was my first thought. If I remember correctly, the dimmer doesnt control the needles anyways. Like I said before, I checked all my fuses... but, Now Im thinking I must have missed 1 or 2 because the last time I armed my alarm tonight, I noticed that the passenger side front and rear light didnt flash like normal. Im wondering what this all means... hmmm. I'll recheck my fuses tomorrow, but in the meantime, anyone else have any ideas?
Also, the Endurance bumper is for the Evo VIII, there is a thread about it in the Evo Show and Shine section if you'd like to take a look.

Under the hood. I had a problem with that when I wired in my bumper lights. Blew the fuse for the left bumper and the gauge cluster. Fun times at night, I tell ya.

as far as the dimmer switch goes, it does control the needles. my gauges and needles didn't light up at one time and it was b/c the dimmer switch was unplugged. as for the fuse, im pretty sure ghostrider is right.
