Bad/Dirty headlight switch? I had my gauge cluster, headlights, foglights and tailights go bonkers and it was the switch. While I was in there, I cleaned the potentiometer that dimmed the interior lights and it works much better now!

The switch that you turn to turn on the headlights, on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. It's also got a little dimmer on it. Try cleaning the dimmer first and see what happens. Are you sure your taillights work too? Mine screwed everything up.

hmm...well the guages now work after replacing all the fuses, go figure. The taillights still dont light up nor do the guages, I think that i may be grounding out somewhere when i installed the radio.
