Default Smoking Gauge Cluster!!

I'm having issue with my Si gauge cluster in my EG...I went to change out the bulbs and took those blue condoms off of them. When i put them back in...my gauge cluster literally started smoking...and the lights went out. So i checked and sure enough there's a spot in the back where it got fried...

Anyways, what i really want to know is...are the lights on my cluster toast now?? Or is there a way i can fix it...??

If you guys got any ideas plz post..thanks

i think id be a little more worried about the cluster than the lights themselves...
when you changed them did you happent o pull a little too hard maybe?
try some new bulbs and see where that goes, check the fuses too
