Dash Backlights are dead?

Hey I've ran into a bit of trouble, my dash lights won't turn on. i meant the backlights of my gauges won't turn on. I am thinking I accidentally unplugged something? or maybe I blew a fuse (i hope not)?

Oh also my air-con control back lights are also not working.

I was repainting my interior incase you guys are wondering. I took parts of the dash apart and placed them back on and to my surprise I was dirving with my backlights off.

considering the alternatives, i'd hope it was a fuse. Check those suckers, and keep in mind that they don't always look burned when they're gone

update: Well I looked at the fuses but nothing seems wrong. I even changed the dashlights fuse with a new one but nothing changed.

Also my side headlights (don't know what they are called) are not working, yes both sides.

I've looked everywhere for unplugged cables but found nothing. Is there a particular place i should look at?
