yeah you might want to take it back to them, let them fix what they may have potentially broke.

but if the fuse checks out make sure your dash was plugged in right. Here is a picture of the backside of your gauges. The circles are your bulbs, but check the connector.

one guy had a problem while trying to change his dash lights to LED in another forum/topic and it turned out to be a bad dimmer switch so check out that if all fails.
