01 civic gauge and tail lights stopped working
 
Ok this might possibly be related to my latest stereo installation because that's when it happened but I checked all my connections and everything was hooked properly so it could be a coincidence. When I turn on my headlights, the gauge lights and the tail lights dont work. But the brake lights do work. And then get this. I have an Alpine alarm and when I lock or unlock it flashes my lights. When I do this, the gauge lights and tail lights still come on with the flash. WTF?!

01 civic dash lights and gauge needles dont work
 
I messed up and accidentally hooked the video disabling wire from my Kenwood KVT-512 up to my antenna wire I think. Anyway when I fired it up for a test I suddenly noticed the unmistakable smell of burning electronics. I quickly shut off and checked everything and noticed my blunder and fixed it. Now, my dash lights and just the needles on my gauges no longer work. I have aftermarket gauges and they are hooked up to a different relay I suppose because they still work. They are the only part on my car I did not install myself so I'm not exactly sure how they are hooked up but they have worked for years. I had replaced all my dash lights with blue LEDs which was a very tedious soldering job so I'm very disappointed I can no longer see them. I'm not sure what I burned out but I need to know so I can replace it. I can't see anything obvious underneath my dash. Any help is greatly appreciated.
