Aren't there two dimmer wires? Have you tried the other one?

you might have the bulb in back words, try reversing it to see whats up.

Ok, seriously now, how do you have the Gage wired up? im concerned about the ground and the wire for the lighting in particular. Let me know and we can go from there..............

i had the same problem when i installed my tach. I just switched the wire it connects to in the dash. I can't dim the tach anymore but i've never done it in the past and havn't dimmed my lights since i put the tach in.
