Default **Guage cluster doesn't light (diagram needed)

Well this happend after I installed the stock head unit from my '01 GSR into my '95 LS ... but I'm not pulling the HU out again, I just got it in there with a new harness and the wide band is mounted under it .......etc

I do have Defi D guages (boost/oil pres/EGT) that still light up with the headlights, just the cluster doesn't light.

I have checked all my fuses multiple times without finding any blown. I also pulled my guages/cluster/bezel out and rechecked all the connections I made when I installed the guages, but everything checks out.

So I guess what I need is

1. To know exactly which fuse controls the lighting of the cluster... so I can recheck it just to be triple sure.

2. To know which wire running into the back of the cluster is supposed to come on with the headlights.

TIA

Did you make sure the dimmer switch isn't unplugged or turned down?

I have my EGT guage in the dimmer switch hole. I extended the wires to the dimmer switch and hid it behind the dash. I also used the dimmer switch wires for illumination of the new guages. All guages(stock and Defi) have worked fine since the install (couple months ago) until now. I did check the switch, position made no difference. I aslo tested it at the switch and before and after each connection I made... no dead spots....
