Default Which fuse is for dash lights/stereo display?

When we wired up my nitrous last week we had a dead short issue and i think it might have weakened some of my fuses. Apparently which ever one it was that runs the dash lights was one of them. It went this am as soon as I cut the car on. The lights behind the instrument cluster dont work, the radio display doesnt work (radio does though ) all overhead and glovebox lights are fine. So, which fuse am i needing to replace? If this is a stupid-easy question, please forgive me, i am a wiring idiot. Anything mechanical is cool, but for some reason wires bother me . Just need to know which one of the fuses I have to swap out. Thanks for the help.

The only IP label fuses i see are some MONSTER 40 amp ones, and none of those are blown? Is it the fuse box against the fender or the one closer to the motor? Also, what amp fuse am i looking for here, i doubt its 40. Any help is appreciated.

The fuse panel you're looking for is on the left end of the dash. Open the driver's door and you will see a removeable plastic cover on the end of the dash. The IP Dimmer fuse is in that fuse panel.
