Instrument Lights Dead, How do I revive?

The gauges in my car have been out for awhile too. They still function, but when you turn the headlights on they don't light up. Also, when you turn on the headlights the radio display (stock radio) goes out. I checked all fuses and replaced the dimmer switch (for the interior lights)but it didn't fix it. I heard that power to the gauges runs through the headlight switch so I may try that next. Any other ideas?

Verify that the INST fuse is OK.
