Piggybacked 99 XJ from 2014 DEC. ok. no biggie.
but what car, same? XJ up to 2001?
op my guess he blew fuse 9 or 16
i bet the self test failed with the OP's car.
but lets talk your car, is it a 99 XJ?
the FSM covers this.
here is the full answer here. see instrument pages, read.

1999 XJ? facts on head,
pdc fuse 16 blown?
cab fuse 9 blown?
self test fails.?
now the hard wired warn LAMPS just this one year 99
seat belts
and low washer fluid
ABS fail.
brake warn. or hand brake engaged
chime inputs. hard wired.
tURNS (L/r) active and high beam.
illumination (back ground glows) works, hard wired TOO.
DEAD LIST.
all else will be dead if COMMs are lost or fuses out. depends on which fuse is dead, if both blown all warns dead and gauges.
meters all dead. with loss of comm and some warns below.
cel dead.
upshift dead
low fuel dead or stuck (stuck on or off is still dead)

the photo below shows why meters die
when comm LINK dies. or 12v power to head.

Grope underneath the dash. There is a twist lock socket underneath the dashboard meter.

dash lights come on with the light switch so if you turn off the lights and the dash lights are still on then the problem will be in the switch or if you have auto lights then the problem maybe in the auto module.

Check if the dashboard bulb is still okay, if so then change the fuse. you have to pull the dashboard to locate the bulb. all the best.

Yeah you can remove the hood and enginge but it's much harder that way! Just kidding the dash is notthat hard to get out one speedo cable and four screws witll get the speedo head out so you can change the bulbs, they are miniture bulbs to.

Most often the tail lights and dash lights share a single feed and fuse.
Assuming you have checked the fuses (probably marked as tail or courtesy)
If you have good fuse and the head light gives a voltage out while in the 'parking light' position (usually between off and headlights) then you need to start chasing wiring.

if it's the light for the climate control you can remove the panel again and change the bulb
i install car stereo for a living and it happened to me once
now i remove the panel in those vans without turning the key on to move the shifter so the bulbs aren't on when i yank on the dash panel
i had to get the bulb from the dealer
