Not working at all, or just extremely pale? There is adjuster if it's the later.

The white ribbon cable behind/below the center console and the single connector directly behind the cluster control the gauges. Have you check both of these?

this may sound stupid but you did try the dimmer on the left side of the gauge cluster right

I did the same thing when I hardwired my old radar, my solution: Pop open the fuse box (next to clutch pedal) and I believe its a 10amp fuse marked "meter"- check/replace- solved my problem. GL.
