Default dimmer switch/gauges

hey i successfully installes a set og indiglo gauges on my eg , but they wont go on beacuase i have them crossed with the dimmer switch power, if i hook them alll up together then only the temperature, defroster stuff lights up , but if i take take them harness out of the dimmer switch then when i put the (parking lights,headlight sitch on) the glow gauges work great! Does anyone know why this is? ps i have the glow gauge wire black=ground just grounded to metal on the car and the red wire spliced into the power wire (red) to the dimmer. does anyone know of an alternative to installing the power to the frigin gauges so i can have all the little lights actually working?

when I had mine I just spliced into the parking light wire, that way when you have the parking lights and/or head lights on your gauges are on.
