no back lights, info center lights

OK I have more working dash lights now but I have no speedo / rev / info center back lights , I used to have mega dim speedo back light so I took every bulb out and check them and found none of the bulbs to be faulty.

What have I done wrong? I noticed the back light bulbs have a odd sized one what is smaller.

I got to drive tomorrow morning to my back lights.

First thing i'd check which can be easily overlooked is the dimmer variable resistor switch thing on the lower steering column shroud. Make sure it's plugged in and works. None of the dash lights work without it.

Have you dislodged the large bulb in the back of the speedo that lights up the infocentre etc?

it's often the case when you remove the dsah, I think the sudden movements break the fragile filaments.
