You could have made a connection or wire come loose, the only way to find out is to take your dash apart, it's not that hard, really.

If all went out I would suspect loose wire/ground, or bad dimmer switch.

Yeah, I'd check the dimmer first!

Dimmer switch is flaky in my 90 ragtop. Only works when it's all the way to bright. Have you tried running the dimmer back and forth? See if the lights come on during any part of the switch travel.
