Seems like the left side of my instrument panel, the gas and temp, is lights out. Also, the little cluster of gauges down to the left, the fog light switch and dimmer switch, do not light up anymore. Couldn't find a fuse for the latter, and the previous seems like a lot of work. Any suggestions?

Have you played around with the dimmer switch at all? In my old car if the dial was turned to certain points or at times touched it would knock out some or all of the lights on the dash. Play around with that and see if that is the problem.

Otherwise it sounds like you have a loose or broken connection somewhere in there. Time to bust out the multimeter and track stuff down.

ahaha, my right side is out(The RPM and 90mph+). I'll try messing with the dimmer switch again because I don't want to be taking apart my dash and changing bulbs.

Duct tape a flashlight to your steering column. Red Green fix ftw.
