Are they LED bulbs....if they are turn them around, if not did you try switching them with the ones that are working? Did you check to make sure there is not a pinched wire anywhere?

Make sure the cluster is pushed in all the way. Maybe the connectors aren't touching. You aren't supposed to replace all the bulbs, just the speedo and rpm's I think. I believe I got 4 bulbs, can't remember.
Is anything else not working? Like turn signal or brake lights? If so, check a fuse. Are any of the interior lights not working?

They do not send you bulbs to replace all of them on the panel. These bulbs replace the ones the light up your needles and the numbers/lines for the gauges. You should replace the lights for the speedometer, tach, fuel, and temperature. The idiot bulb lights do not get changed. I would try removing and then reseating the cluster. Make sure you disconnect your battery first.

yeah, put the old bulbs in and see if they work. you might have just put the new bulbs in the black housing wrong too. make sure they fit securely. if the new bulbss dont work, its probably a fuse.

i checked the fuses inside and and out...and it doesnt look like any are blown at all....and i know they gave me 4 big sets (2 too many cause the listing on the site is wrong) and 2 little ones (3 short cause of the listing)...but i know the idiot bulbs are the wrong size anyway, so i changed a couple of the other ones and the 4 main ones...i checked the resistance on the back and everything checks out alright, doesnt look like any wire is cut or anything...i dont exactly know what the fuse would look like blown, but im assuming that i would know. 2nd one down on the right i think it is (99 tib). its hard driving at night without the dash on so im gonna see what i can do about it....any ideas let me know
i think the brake lights are working (never checked) but the turn signals arent working 02.gif
and no they arent LED bulbs...they are little bulbs like in here
