Instrument panel light trouble...need some advise
I picked up this 89 IROC 5.7 a few weeks ago and most the instrument panel bulbs were out. I grabbed some proper ones at the auto store and removed the instrument panel to replace them from behind. Once I put the panel back in, none of the lights on the panel turned back on.
I know that polarity matters so i figured I would have to turn a few around, but does anyone have an idea on why all the bulbs will no longer turn on?

I started looking at the 20 little sockets the bulbs were in and noticed that many of them seem to be badly corroded (the car sat in a garage for 12 years when we found it) and the contacts seemed to be bad. I just ordered some new ones so I will try that.
This may be a simple follow up question but I noticed some of the sockets were black and others were white. Do you know if that make a difference when they are replaced and put back in the panel?
