Dash light issue

Alright guys, I'm stumped. Speed, tach, oil press, temp, fuel lights will not turn on when I turn on my headlights. All my other lights work including my turn signals, seat belt, hazards etc. I find it highly unlikely that the 4 (or 5?) illumination bulbs went out, is the meter fuse next to the clutch the right fuse for this? Or does anyone have any ideas what it might be? Thanks.

Pull it and find out. You would be surprised what is actually controlled by other circuits.

... do you have the dash gauge dimmer set all the way down?

hoov - I was hoping to avoid that if possible
Z lover - that was the first thing I tried, have you heard of those switches going bad maybe? Or is the dimmer on a separate fuse?
