paying with the dimmer switch dont make any difference..

So your headlights come on, but the dash lights do not, correct? What about your taillights, do they work too?
Check your fuses 1st and if that's not the problem might check the wires that are in the your blinker/headlight/brights lever on the left side of the steering wheel.

I would seriously check the wires coming out of the blinker lever. Turn your lights on and then play with the wires coming out from that lever to see if there is a short or a break in those wires. See if the dash lights even flicker on/off you know that's the problem.
If that is not it, you can get a wire tester and test the wires to see if they are getting power.
