Ash Tray and Lighter Bulb our after swapping shift boot

Swapped my shift boot yesterday and somehow lost light to both the ash tray and lighter bulbs. Worked before. Lighter outlet still charges. All fuses good. Assuming this must be the bulbs? Seems silly that I lost BOTH just from taking the center console out but so be it. Wanted to check that there wasn't something obvious I was missing before tracking down bulbs. Thanks!

*topic should say "out," oh well.

There’s a connector you must have forgotten to plug back in that power the lights.

Sorry, should have made it clear. Connector is plugged back in. Also don't think the lighter charger would be working had I not. Thanks though!

The power port has its own connector. You left something unplugged.

NM I was thing something else there is only one main plug. Maybe while moving the bulbs around the elements broke.

I'm not sure how much more clear I can be. I unplugged one thing, it's plugged back in. I checked for a second time this morning. Thanks again.

Bulbs broken due to the movement of the panel.
The same happened for me.

Bulbs when they get old the filament goes for any reason. I pulled the instrument cluster because I had a bulb out. After a little examination I put it back together and had three bulbs out.

Well, it wasn't the bulbs. I give up. The lights aren't that important anyway.

Following cause my lights went out when changing my lights. They were working when I had everything apart then as soon as I put everything back together boom, no cig light, ash tray light, or hvac lights. Everything is plugged in and all the fuses were intact.
