i believe that you burned the hell out of your gauges. as for the fuses, check underneathe the hood also to make sure everything is good. i'd check to see the damage of the wires first before doing anything else because this can cause more melt downs if you short out something else.

i'm surprise that the fuse didn't pop sooner. do you have any other aftermarket parts tapped into your factory wires? if so, did you fuse them properly and where did you fuse them?

for future reference, your cigarette lighter and dash lights draw a small amount of current. if you are going to hook up something like neons, make sure you hook it up from the battery with a FUSE no more than 18" away from the battery terminal.

having such a current draw on such small wires can cause your insulation to burn like it did.
