Default What did I blow up?

I tried to replace one of the backlighting bulbs on the AC console with the lights
on and blew something up that caused all my lights to not work. The lights
are fine so I must of blew out circuitry that drives them. Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks.

It's not clear from your posting as to which lights stopped working but hopefully it's a fuse. Check ALL of your fuses, in ALL of your fuse boxes including the ones inside the cabin.

Default fuses checked

The lights that went out were all the backlighting on the AC/Radio console. I did check
the fuses but none were blown. Still a mystery!
Thanks.

Remove the bulb that you replaced and see what happens. Double check your work while you're at it.

Check your fuses with a multimeter on the continuity setting.
