check the rheostat (dimmer) for the lights. If it is not plugged in (or it's bad) the interior lights will not light up.

It just pulls out with a little help of a flat head screw driver.

The dimmer only controls the gauge lights. Use the flat head screw driver to pry the trim piece out of the dash that holds the dimmer switch.

There are way too many gauge light bulbs to have them all go out at once. I'm pretty sure it would be the dimmer switch gone bad if none of your gauges are lighting up.

gently pry the dimmer switch out and make sure the connections are ok.
