Check again - best with a multimeter, as they can be deceptive and look OK to the eye but still not conduct...
IIRC, rear light and front sidelight run off the same fuse (per side), so I'd say the fuse is still the primary suspect.
Heater panel lighting should be off the same feed as other gauges/buttons illumination; so if others work it's probably local to the panel (wire, blown bulbs etc)

Ookay... do you get 12V on the wires for rear, brake etc, just outside the cluster? With the indicator working, the grounding for the cluster appears OK - possibly a broken ground internal to the cluster...
But the non working front sidelight at the same time makes it weird...
Fear you'll need to trace and probe the wiring and see how far you have voltage/where it disappears.
At the front, is there +12V in the lamp socket? Good connection between the other pin in the socket and good ground (neg battery pole)?
