Default Gauge lights not working

So for some reason when I drove my truck the other night all the lights that normally come on when driving at night stopped working?? I noticed that when I turn on the headlights all the things that are normally lit up didnt dim either (like the overhead temp and map thing, the radio etc. I cant figure out what is going on? Anyone have any ideas? I checked the fuses inside and all the ones that might have something to do with the interior lights are good. i am stumped.

Try moving the dimmer and see if they come on.

All fuses good? Checked with a multimeter?

Could be a bad headlight switch...
