Default Dash swap

Hi, so I swapped the dash from my 1990 f150
with one from an 89 so I cloud have a tachometer.
All works but I don’t have dash lights and the fuse is good.

Not sure if I broke something or if the years just aren’t compatible.

Thought id ask before I change them back.
Thanks! And happy new year!

Did you turn the headlight switch all the way to the right? They might be dimmed from the switch.

I changed my dash back to my old one.
Not sue what’s going on but now the lights don’t work on either dash.
Im thinking I had to of messed up something when I installed the other dash
I was real careful when unplugging everything and I cant find anything broken.
