If everything was working before you did the light bulb thing, then there is where you start. Look at the connector on the back of the insturement panel and make sure its making good contact with the circuit board.
For the wipers look at the connector on the wiper switch, you probably pulled it loose when you had the dash apart.

Sounds like you lost the ground to cluster housing.Take a wire and attach it to a good ground and touch it to the metal housing and try the wipers.
