You've changed what surround? If you mean the front half of the cluster, it's very possible that the bulb's working, but you can't see it. The little piece of plastic with 'check' on it, that the bulb shines through is totally opaque on cars without the 'check' module.
It's held in place by the same bracket that holds the SI board in place, and is easily changed.
