    Is it just the aux gauge lighting? There is a booster relay for aux gauge and dash lighting behind the aux gauges. Maybe you disturbed it, or a short has blown it?

        You may find that the glove compartment switch/bulb wiring is short circuit. Try disconnecting it and replacing the fuse for the instrument bulbs. The fuse can be found in the main fuse box in the engine bay.

        I'm guessing its a yellow 5A on and the ref is S14, I can't honestly remember for sure.
