gauges quit working

Ok guy I've got a little problem. My wife and I got some indiglo gauges for her integra and we installed them that night. They worked for 1 night and quit working the next day. Now, these are the fourth set of gauges I have installed, including mine and two of my friends eclipses. I've installed them all the same way(dimmer switch) and my two friends and my own are still working fine and have been for months. The company sent me another transformer and it did the same thing. I don't know what the problem could be. Can any of you guys help me?
