ALL of your dash lights? Sounds like an electrical problem - they don't all go out at once.

I'd be willing to bet you have a short, or a fuse is blown that doesn't look like it. You did check the fuse under the hood and in the cabin? Pull any fuse that has ANYTHING to do with lights. Mine did this too, as well as my brake lights (my tail lights worked, just not when brakes pushed) and running lights also didn't work. Was a fuse. Didn't look blown.
 
I just went through that tonight...

Start to see what else is on the circuit via haynes or maybe even on here. I had a penny stuck in my cig lighter that was causing a short.

One other time, in another car, it was the dimmer wire for the radio causing an outage due to its insulation being rubbed off and grounding out.
