So after a few months of browsing through this wonderful forum, while searching for my car, I got a 97 GT Hatch. So I have been getting it back on the road. New struts and brakes all the way around and was installing a new set of reverse glow gauges. Anyway I got the new gauges working correctly but now I have no lights for the needles. After searching I found that all the other lights work door adjar seatbelt etc but no needles even after installing some LEDs that I got from AutoZone. Am I up a creek? Do I need to go to a junk yard and get a new cluster than switch over the Speedo so mileage is still accurate. Any help will greatly appreciated also.I checked all fuses and everything else appears to be functioning correctly

Well I just got back from the JY and decided to test somethin I just installed the new cluster and I get the same result all the indicators work but for what ever reason the gauge lights just won't come on ..... It's not horrible with the indiglo gauges I can still see the needles because of the light they produce but its not what I want lol.... Must be something in the wires I know I have power to the new gauges or they wouldn't work no idea where to start though
