Gauge Needles not lighting up

I installed Trustz's Gauge overlays, and I noticed last night that my needles, and mileage lcd are no longer lighting up. The Speedometer one lights up, but all the other needles are not. I didnt notice it right away after I installed the Overlays, so I thought it might be a fuse. Checked 2 of those in the cabin and they are fine.

So its prolly something wrong with how I installed the overlays, but Anyone ever run into this problem? I have not had a chance to get in there and tinker, but I tapped into a wire for power that was recommended and maybe thats effecting the needles? Anyone know what it could be? Anyone with Trustz gauges overlays had a similar problem?

I inspected the area, Looks like it was My connection. Seemed to have fixed a few of the needles, but so hard to tell in the daylight. Will see how it goes tonight.

Update, RMP and Speedo Needles are lighting up, my Odometer, Fuel, and Engine temp are not. Made sure all my connections were solid, still not working.

Sounds to me like you left part of your harness unplugged... recheck all the plugs and make sure their good and tight.

I thought so also, but I have checked the connections twice. I am wondering if I somehow damaged the cluster, or effected the actual electronics inside to make those sections stop working.

Going to pull it out again, and go over each area.

I found the problem. 2 of the bulbs that light up the needles and Odometer burned out when I installed everything. Simply replaced them (added some leds for a nicer look) and now it looks awesome.
