Gauge Lights, Headlights, Brake Lights, and sidemarkers wont power on

Im having a ton of trouble getting to the route of this wiring issue, Ive check all fuses and they all are good, I have no lights, my deck turns on all okay and the dash lights turn on (service engine, choke, etc). Are all the lights on one circuit? anyone with some incite to this issue will be much appreciated!

Thanks!

I had some suspicion that it may be one of three things, Headlight/dimmer switch, Fusible links to starter, or my wiring is just Messed up.

obviously they dont look good, but does that look like an issue that may effect my lighting?

First of all I would get your starter wire replaced,as for the lights from what your describing it would be your switch if all fuses are ok
