Default Dash lights out

Hi, The other day when starting my '85 because of starting problems the car turned over a lot. While doing so the dash lights went out. I'm having the starting problem fixed (cold start injector leaking) and I have a new alternator. What can I do to fix the dash lights? It' not a fuse and the digital display is still readable but hard to see without lights. Prior to this incident only two of the dash lights worked so I replaced them all with new bulbs from NAPA. Not the exact replacement bulb but rather ones from a upper brake light. The dealership told me the digital display would have to be sent out to be repaired. Any suggestions?
