Damn elecrical gremlins
Slowly but surly lights are going out. Now the foglights, no dash lights. no running lights. Replaced all the fuses and I sill have this couldn't have happened to a luckier guy. The hood light was the latest victim

You need to start doing some electrical troubleshooting with a multimeter.
What is the ACTUAL battery voltage measured at the battery with the engine running???
Do you have voltage at the fuse/s when you have the lights that are dead turned ON? Check the voltage at the fuse test points to chassis ground.
Do you have voltage at the bulb socket when the lights are turned ON? The bulb could just be burned out. Check the bulbs with an OHM METER
