Okay, well it was in November when this happened but I still haven't fixed it, haha. So bare with me.

I was swapping out my gas/ brake pedals in preparation for a manual conversion that I did over xmas break. Because of how tight the room is under the dash, I had to twist the break pedal sensor while it was still plugged in to get it out (possibly the problem?). While trying to get more room, I tried unplugging some of the plugs in the back of the fuse box, but to no avail. The plugs I pulled out was the plug at the very right end of the fuse box if you're staring from the driver sitting position, left if your lying under the dash. I also had to move the fuse box around a bit to get the pedal assembly out.

After getting the new brakes in, all of the lights in my dash were dimmer when you turn the lights on. not only the gauge cluster, but for my radio and ***** as well. pretty much every light in the dashboard.

Any ideas what I can try to do to get it to light up again? I might be selling this car to a friend later this year and I don't want to give them a car where they can barely see the gauge numbers at night.

00 civic EX to be specific.
