Is it all the lights across the entire dash, or just the lights behind the gauge cluster?

Check all fuses under the dash and under the hood. All good figured out how the front of the dash comes off to expose the cluster panel. Tomorrows another day

This may sound dumb, but did you check your dimmer switch? Is it all the way down?

Most likely culprit is the headlight switch itself, We had one that sometimes you would lose dash lights sometimes dash and running lights, My money is on the switch
