Default Gauge lights went out while driving

i was on my way to my buddies house one night, and my gauge lights, HVAC lights, and the little bulbs in the doors, and the ashtray light went out. The headlights and brakelights work, and so does the dome/map light. I checked fuses, and they seem to be ok. help is appreciated

maybe a bad contact in the switch. Maybe jump across the switch and see if they light.
