Post Instrument Cluster Lights All Out

Hi,
recently moved to the US from England and couldn't resist a big 1987 Bronco. It really is a good vehicle.
Problem is all the instrument cluster lights are out. Makes driving in the dark lots of fun!
Been told probably rheostat in headlight switch (unlikely all lights would go out at same time due to blowing). Any ideas where to get a new one? or if something else is likely the cause.
All help appreciated.
Graham

I know you probably already checked this but, did you check the dash light fuse? It is a 5 amp one if I remember correctly but, check the fuse block cover to be sure which one it is. If you already have done this then you need to buy the entire light switch if it is the rheostat. You can buy one at almost any parts store. Hope this helps,
