Adam,
The fuse that affects the panel lights is not the one labeled Gauges. It's a little midget fuse that resides in the same fuse panel, either at the very top or very bottom row. Look for a 4 amp fuse that's about half as long as a regular one, labeled either PANEL LTS or INST. LTS. It's a bugger to take out because of its small size. When shopping for a replacement, look for type AGA.
Good luck.

Once you replace everything that is attached to something else. It will all be fixed.

Steve is close, but it is an SFE 4.
SFE is an interesting fuse group. The length corresponds to an the current value.
So, and SFE 4 is 5/8
SFE 6 is 3/4
SFE 7.5 & 9 are both 7/8
SFE 14 is 1-1/16
SFE 20 is 1-1/4 (the same as AGC)
SFE 30 is 1-7/16
Neat - Huh??
Let's see some Bozo put a 20 in because the 9 blows out to fast.
