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?

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.
