as said there bulbs most likely, they twist and pull out, also you will have to replace the dial faces due to them having a green filter on them, which you cant get off, so its eitehr lockwood dials with some blue bulbs or some plasma dials, theres a group buy on them too

did you not which way they went before you took them out, as they only work one way, the cut off on the corner determines the positive side

ill check too mate, im surer the engine needs to be started, if it doesnt work then be best to take them out to clean the bulbs or replace them and also clean the dials
the plasma ones hould fit in your car mate, and also you can have them green and also blue
