Default Lights not coming on inside car

Was driving along and then click, no lights inside my car (pitch black) while I drive as in no options show up. But what's weird is all the lights related to everything come on when the car is turned off, but with the key still in the ignition.

Also my head lights turn on, but I can't get the front lights to go up and down for the life of me.

some sort of mechanical reprogramming needs to be done ? It sucks driving a car where it's completely pitch black inside.

Maybe this will help,my lights would not go down one morning I chacked the battery ground and it was loose I fixed that and no more problems.Check and see if you have tail lights and fog lights if not it is might be the turn signal switch that is what was wrong with mine.I had no dash lights,fog or tail lights. Hope this helps

you hook anything up lately using your dash lights as a source? a buddy of mine did and his dash lights wouldn't go on unless the dimmer was set to highest level. disconnected the device using it as a source and everything worked as before. apparently it can only either support a certain load or current (dealer was right for once).

this kinda sounds different from yours but thought it's close enough it may help.. I would definitely check for good grounds.
