I have a 88 TA i just purchased, and the first two day the dash lights worked.
I replaced several bulbs, front and rear, and now non of hte dash lights work.
I have checked hte fuses, and replaced the headlight switch, and have had no
success.  Anyone have any advice?

I'm confused by what you mean front and rear. I have a '90 TA and all
bulbs are on the rear of the gage cluster. My 88 was the same.

There is a flexible circuit board to which your bulbs are attached.
Make sure you did not damage it and the large grey connector that
plugs into the gage cluster is properly connected. I don't remember
but it should only go in one way, and make sure it is fully seated.

anthony, sorry i wrote such a crappy explanation....i was frustrated.  what i
meant was that i replaced a tail light bulb, reverse light bulb, and a front
turn indicator bulb, and after doing so, the dash lights stopped working.  I
did not tamper with the dash itself, they were all working perfectly fine at
the time, just replaced bulbs on the outside of the car in order to have it
pass a vehicle inspection.
