Default help! guage cluster wont light up, cant see it at night !

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for any answers.

heres my story..

I just bought a 1996 integra ls , and the previous owner installed the indiglo gauge face on the gauge cluster . I perfer the stock one, but it will have to due for right now .

The car had a dead battery , but it was jumped to start, the cluster lit up fine , then it stalled out . We jumped it again , and it wont light up now .

What could be the reason ? a fuse ? wire maybe ? Ive always used stock clusters so im not sure what could be the reasoning, but any help would be great.

thanks


UPDATE!!!!!
I notice that right when i start up the car, the indiglo gauges light up and work great , but after like 2-3minutes , they turn off and wont come back on . I checked all the fuses in the fuse box, they are all working , what else could cause this ?

My guess would be fuse or maybe it was wired wrong. My brother has the indiglos in his hatch and they didn't wire them properly so sometimes it goes out on him. However, I must note that even though the indiglos go out, we still get some light from the stock bulbs yet, it's just not as bright. I would check the fuses first! GL

i have reverse gauges and it came with a power inverter with a dimmer switch...if you have a dimmer switch i would resolder the wires to the dimmer switch and before anything, put your turn signal switch 1 flip so your corner lights are on at night and see if you can see the mile counter and whatnot light up....if not, you dont have the same problem as me
