Default Headlights no longer working

Ok, a strange thing happened, I had to replace my heater core and it took me some time to finish putting the center console back in. Well, I got it back in last night and now I have no headlights, gauge lights or interior lights?? What could be the cause of this mysterious issue?? Bad fuse? Switch? Bus link fuse? I am at a loss. Oh, this is a 1974 coupe, and all lights worked before I placed the center gauge cluster back in. Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.

did you have the battery disconnected while you were working on the car?
did you look at the fuse box?

While getting everything ready I was working on disconnecting the battery when the clock wire grounded and sparked.
I checked the fuse box last night, but I don't see one marked for the headlights. I did see gauges and cluster. There is a large fuse/rely at the top but I don't know what it's for.
