Weird electrical problem Last night I stopped in a parking lot for a minute to use my phone and when I turned my car back on the lights for the gauges didn't turn on at all. Also, the lights on my stock head unit wouldn't stay on if I turned my lights on but they would turn off if I shut my lights off. I'm also getting a misfire when I try to go past 4000 rpms. This makes me think I'm having some electrical problem and my coilpacks might not be getting enough power to give more spark at higher rpms.
What could cause these sort of things to happen?

For the dash lights, first check the IP DIMMER fuse in the dash fuse panel. If your tail lights are also out then check the TAIL LPS fuse as well (the tail lights and the dash lights all run off the TAIL LPS fuse). Never rely on a visual inspection of a fuse - always use a tester or replace with a known good fuse. A fuse can be blown and still look fine.
