I need some help with my car. None of my dash lights, gauge lights, or anything that lights up orange (with the exception of my power window button) light up when I turn my headlights on. Also, on my gauge cluster, when I turn my headlights on, both turn signals light up and stay on. Everything works fine, it's just that none of dash/gauge lights light up when I turn on the headlights. I already checked every fuse in both boxes. I really need some help here guys... Thanks...

did you see any smoke come out from the dash? cause its possible you fried your guage cluster thing. its hooked up to the headunit some how. i know a few people tried installing a HU and thats what happened.
maybe try checking all the connections just incase.

What do you mean by "gauge cluster thing" because besides the lights not lighting up and the turn indicators flashing in reverse with the actual lights, the needles and all other indicators work fine...

guage cluster circuit board... i dont think its that then...
did you use a wiring harness or cut the stock? maybe check the orange wire and check if its cut or not. sorry, not sure why it wouldnt work.

I did use a wiring harness. I think that maybe I have a problem with the illumination and/or dimmer wire... You've been a good help... If you come up with anything else, let me know... Thanks for all the input...
