If you already checked the fueses for the interior lighting then more than likely you have burnt out bulbs. You'll need to pull the instrument panel to get to those.

I doubt if it's the bulb, why would all the bulbs go out at the same time. Look for a short or fuse..

Did you check the dimmer switch?

It sounds like all the interior lights you are talking about are controlled by the dimmer. Could have a short there or something wrong.
