Sometimes the dimmer will fail and that is often the case if all the lights that are out are on the dimmer.
If that is the case, you need to replace the dimmer/light switch.

When removing any interior stuff, it is either body plug whcih pull out straight but with care. Or, there will be a retaining screw. If you had the dash/gauges out, you were already half way there.
There is no easy way at it, keep all the screws, plugs that come out and most importantly where the wires go when you put it back together.
