Default Dash lights stopped working?

What can cause this? Everything else works, the gauges, warning lights, every other light in the car except the dash lights. I pulled the dash and checked everything, I even swapped bulbs and nothing. I checked the wiring and nothing is out of the ordinary. Can a bad headlight switch cause this? All the outside lights work. Thanks or your help.

bad headlight switch or dimmer switch
check the power incoming/outgoing from the dimmer switch.

I have a similar problem in my 93 GT but I have no lights at all. Dome, instr. panel nothing. So I think my problem is a little more than a dimmer switch
