Even though you didn't touch it, it's very possible that during the instalation, you may have knocked something accidently which has caused a cable or something to disconnect from the back of the climate control.

Does your air conditioning and temperature controls still work without the screen?

This might sound dumb but maybe check all the fuses.

its a very comon prob in vts
the bulbs blow from even the slightest bang/knock
youll need to pull it all out again and remover dash suround and then pull out controls and replace the bulbs
holdens sell them from 8-12 bux each depends where ya go
hes a tip bmw dealers sell same globes for 4.50 each
i doubt the cable fell out as its clipped in they dont just fall out unless someones been in there b4 and stuffed it up

I fully agree with daron. These globes will blow out even with the simplest knock.

Its really annoying. I should know as the same thing happened to me.
