ok, my shop teacher dont know anything (and neither do i). i got these white reverse glo guage inserts a while back for my stang, and it had a dimmer for the inserts (which looked kinda tacky) and then i had my headlight switch to dim everything else, so i wanted to wire up my aftermarket dimmer to my stock one and my shop teacher dont know anything. he told me to do one thing, and smoke just rolled from the dash when i had it back together. so i decided just to wire everything back to how it was, having the aftermarket dimmer under my dash (even though i dont like it there) and i thought things would be back to normal...but now my tail lights dont work and neither do my dash lights...does anyone know how to fix this problem?

thanks!

I'd check fuses first cause if the fuses aren't blown who knows.

That would be my suggestion as well. Also, use the brown wire in the headlight switch harness to power the gauges.
