Do you mean that the gauge lights are out or that the gauges themselves are not working ? Check all fuses under the hood and by the driver's kick panel with a DMM or light tester and replace any if necessary.

the gauges are working but the lights won't work. like when driving at night, when you turn on your lights, those little indicators on the gauge cluster works but the on the speedo, tach gas and temp. won't light up. i'll try to post pics if i can.

Well also you need to make sure when you installed the deck in car which wire did you use for ground from car side harness..Make sure you not using Black wire coming out from car side..Ground wire is Brown wire goes to aftermarket Radio Black wire..if you connect Car black wire to aftermarket radio Black(ground) it will blow the fuse again after you replace fuse and turn your lights on..

Did you use a wiring kit for the radio install? I have a 97 Camry - installed 2 different Stereos, used a harness and had no problems
