Is there a fuse on your wire to the tubes at all? Did you check all the connections? Every single one?

Check the fuse, doesn't matter if it is brand new.

Factory default. Scraped up the wire putting it in. I'm not questioning your abilities. Its just the nature of installing. Stuff gets effed up.

Get a test light and test at the tubes to see if they're getting voltage. If not I would check the entire wire run from front to back. If all else fails get a 12 v battery or charger and test each tube individually and if they work trace the wires back. Also try grounding to the chassis. Idk how safe it is to ground directly to the battery. I couldnever get a good ground off my battery anyways.

First you should check the fuse.

If the fuse is good then check your wiring. Make sure your connections are secure and that you don't have something causing a short.

If that's not the problem then you have something more major happening.
