Default Gauge lights went out

My dash lights just quite on me, the gauges are working and the indicator lights but the gauges don't light up. I just had my transmission rebuilt, could they have nudged a fuse or something that would have caused it? It doesn't seem possible that all the bulbs went out together. Also, if I have to replace the bulbs, can anyone explain how to do it? My manual isn't much help.

I would appreciate any advise you have to give.
Sincerely, John.

Did you check to see if the instument light dimmer switch may have gotten turned all the way down inadvertently? It wouldn't be the first time this has happened...

thanks, yes, I checked that first and it dims the lights on the center console but didn't help my gauges.

Thanks for the thought.
John.
