Do you mean all of the dash instrumentation lights are no longer working? The membrane tracks under the bulb that you have replaced may have been damaged when rotating the bulb.

They're gold dust although a few of us (myself included) have hard-wired the dash.

The feed for the panel light bulbs loop from the one you changed to the others. Check the membrane under the new bulb and you will see the copper tracks under a thin layer of plastic. If you can spot which track is damaged it is possible to repair it or you can convert to LED's with a slight mod to the PCB but take a look first and let us know what you see. Getting hold of a good membrane pcb is hard and usually you have to buy the complete dash. If you want details for repairing or how to mod to LEDs let me know.
