just got my nww beast but unfortunately my rear tailights and dash lights are not working. Brake lights and everything else works fine.. Checked all fuses and they are fine, spent 1/2 hour under the dash looking for loose wires... anyone got any tips or hints.... otherwise I guess will have to get an auto elec out. Alos the boost gauge doesn't light up either... All the interior lights work fine... A common problem or electrical gremlin?? Any help mucho appreciated..Oh its a 92 SR20DET 180SX..

Dead dash dimmer control, or contacts on parking light switch/stalk.

Hardcoregtr: does your boost guage have the wiring for a light?

As for the dash and tail light...use your great power of process elimination, but I'm sure someone on the PF will be able to help else give me a yell and I will ask the guys here. Unfortunately no one is at work now its 5pm.

if u have recently put in a new head unit in ur car then check that the ground wire from ur head unit is actually grounded to the car and not the ground wire from the car...... nissans always have these probs..... have u checked the fuses in ur engine bay??? cos thats one i missed last time and it was only an 10 amp fuse... good luck!
