so these white gauge faces are just pieces of plastic, right? nothing else to them like indiglo or anything?

also do/did the climate control and cigarette lighter light up?
if you're going to spend a bit of time troubleshooting this then you might want a temporary work-around. maybe duct tape some keychain leds to the steering column to illuminate the gauges while you're trying to get things to where you want them.

no the white faces are indiglo gauges. they glow and come with the color button. now that my white face is in, the gauge cluster lights up. but the other lights under my clock dont work like the climate controls and stuff.

There is one more thing that might be wrong.
Check out whats up with ur gauge dimming thing (its a knob that regulates how bring ur interior lights are) if its disconected or brken all the interior lights will be off.

hey niskyspy, i checked that. what i found out was that there are two different ones (wires). I think my 96+ motor has the different style (skinnier) wire. while my 95 stock gauge dimmer has the fat wire. it's connected to nothing and i can't connect them together which they are very different in size.
