I can't see paradise by dashboard light!

I removed my instrument cluster in order to check the brake light switches. When I reinstalled it, the lights for my instrument cluster no longer worked. I'm not worried about getting a speeding ticket while driving at night, but do like to watch the gauges while driving at night. What did I do?

Check fuses, check for loose wires, smell check it (smell that awesome smell of burnt wires?).
Are their any other symptoms? Or just the dash lights?

Just the dash lights, the headlights and fog lights work.

KISS - is the brightness rheostat turned down? Mine is very sensitive - from completely off to full bright with just a very slight move of the thumbwheel. You may have bumped it during the R&R of the cluster. I have done it...
