Please Help! Gauge Cluster Problem

Alright so i looked over the tech article about swapping 194 bulbs of your choice of color into the back of your gauge cluster. I thought it would be cool and one guy on here said it took him 20 minutes. Well i've been working on mine... altogether like 3 hours now.
Here's my problem... I bought 11 bulbs and i took all of them out, but i was working on it late one night and took out the signal and hi beam lights as well. So i pulled all the old bulbs out not knowing i pulled 3 too many. I put the cluster back in and half the lights didnt work along with my fuel gauge and battery gauge. All my gauges worked along with my lights before i pulled it out. I wish i wouldnt of pulled it out and just left it the way it was. Can someone help me out??

To me it just sounds like the gauge cluster isn't connected properly. Maybe you could try taking it out and making sure that the connectors are making good contact.

Well i made sure they were connected and then i bolted down the 2 10 mm bolts to make sure. I mean i get most of the lights to work. My oil pressure gauge,rpm, and speedometer work. Also my blinker arrows dont work along with my high beams. One guy on here said to replace those bulbs which im going to try to do today.
