only thing that i can think of is make sure all 3 plugs in the back are in tightly. otherwise you may have shorted something. best of luck to you on getting them fixed.

look for a blown fuses as well

also your needles may be stuck (no clearance for them to move!) i wound up removing my needles when I did it and re-installing.

I used a GPS to get my speedometer needle accurate and the rest was easy

Make sure the dimmer is hooked up. That switch when not hooked up causes something weird like this - I can't remember the exact effects but I know for sure that the lights will not come on.

check the dimmer.
check the conections
check the fuses,
where did you hook up the power for the new gauges? that could probably be shorting. Did you do + with +?

its possible that when you took off the dash and placed on the gauges, the static from your hands blew the circuit inside the controller for the reverse glow gauges. you might have to get another unit...

static electric can probably damage delicate stuffs like RAM but not this.
i agree with goferris, i think you need to check the 3 plugs make sure you hear a click when you put them back on.
