Are the lights only out in the cluster or are they also out at the cig lighter and or tail/parking lights???

STOP SAYING CHEAK! are you from canada or some ****?
to make my input, maybe its not the lights, it might be the censors that activate the lights. or maybe its the light bulbs, or the wires leading to them.

There are not any sensors that activate the lights, only switches, and odds of it being all the bulbs is very unlikely unless there has been an alt failure, and the wires are also unlikely (except at the switch, but he has not answered what lights exactly are out to confirm that).

Bogus info is 1000% worse than no answer. And if you are going to try and correct someone, you better be typing and spelling correctly yourself.
