Replace speedometer illumination light?

I took the speedometer cluster out to replace the bulbs cause the lights are really dim hen there even on max, but when I checked the back I was missing a few bulb holders one for the left side of the speedometer, so I went to autozone and I bought some
E and some bulbs 161 I think. And I put the new bulbs in but they don't light up for some reason at first when I put them back the whole speedometer was black so I took it out and just did an 180 on the bulb holder and that brought the right side on but the the new bulbs still dnt light up. Since I work on my cr during the day it s hard for me to know if the lights work when I test them, Wat should I do nxt? O it's an 85, 85 speedometer cluster witha tachometer
