    I installed a front camera, and now the left and right gauge cluster lights are off (gauges still work). I'm guessing I knocked something loose like a connector (I hope I didn't break a wire) when I threaded wires through the firewall and up to the head unit. Where do I start trouble shooting?

    The ones that illuminate the circles on either side of the center rectangle. I'm not sure what they're called - instrument panel lights?

    Where did you feed wires? Did you tap anything? Any cuts?

    Wire came through the driver's side grommet. No cut, only taps were into the head unit and they were plug and play.

    Start by checking your headlights are actually on and you didn’t just knock the stalk into the off position.
    Then check other dash lights that should also be on, are also on.
    Once you have that idea, you should be able to narrow down the fuse(s) to check.

    Headlights on, stalk in right position, other dash light that should be on are on, I'll check fuses. Any idea which one corresponds to those two lights?

    It was a loose fuse in the box under the instrument panel. Must have knocked it loose when I was going through the grommet. Thanks mutely.
