Gauge wiring: Please Help!, I think I may have f**ked up... Options

[Diab1o_3000]

I was wiring my reverse glo gauges and I taped into the green wire at the dimmer. I read that I wasn't supposed to, but it was 3 in the morning and I just did it. Anyway, I wired the ground behind the guages on the chassis. I tested it and they DID light up, so I tapped in and spliced it. (I tested it by just putting the end of the red wire to the port on the dimmer harness that the green wire came from) So then, I turn on the headlights and hear a strange sound likke a brown-out sounds in a light bulb. Now all my electrical is EXTRA wweak, even after unplugging the gauges. I MIGHT have enough power for an ant's wristwatch. What did I do and what should I do now! And I would also like to know the CORRECT place to tap into so that my guages come on with the lights. Thanks in advance for any help.
