Well i got my gauge all wired up and looking great, spliced into the dimmer circuit and everything. However, when i plugged everything back in , i blew the "panel" fuse in the box. Any advice as to what i should do now, besides get a new fuse...should i buy one with a greater (wattage? amperage? i dunno what the numbers indicate) or should i just get another 7.5?

Don't go higher. Get another 7.5Amp fuse. If it blows again check you haven't created a short or anything like that.

likely the splice has created a short, just check the wires and use only the 7.5 amp fuse, thats what the wires that are ran can handle

got it all sorted out...turns out when i spliced the wires in i didn't tape off all the exposed copper, and when the touched it caused a short...it was a 15 minute fix. thanks a bunch
