You may have a bad ground behind the cluster...check for loose connections.

You may also have a faulty rheostat switch (upper left that you twist to change the intensity of the instrument lights). They can sometimes be cleaned by aggressively twisting the small knob several times, but more often a simple replacement is required.

To test prior to replacement, you can jump the hot-to-negative on the back of the switch (or disconnect the wires and twist them together) your dash lights should then activate at full intensity. if so, you can elect to leave them that way as an alternative to replacing the switch.

It is very unlikely that your bayonet bulbs have all failed.

Good Luck
