When\If your lights are on, hold the + and the cluster will get brighter.

this may sound dumb, but make sure you know where all of the fuses are, because on my 98 Accord, I had no gauges or Tail lights, and i checked the fuses in the drivers side dash and under the hood, and couldn't figure out what was wrong. Turns out there is an identical fuse box on the passenger side in the dash that i didn't know about. I don't know where they are in the s2k, but i am sure someone on here will.

Bad wiring?

BTW, my last block of the fuel gauge is gone.
