Either the dimmer knob is down/off or a fuse or two are blown.

Hahaha!! Same thing happened to me.. Little did I know that I rubbed up on the dimmer switch.. Don't know how that happened though lol

And that's after I checked all my fuses, in the darkness of the night...

There are two boxes. One is near the steering wheel (under and to the left of it), and the other is in the engine bay near the battery.

The headlight indicator is powered by the ECU-B fuse and the speedometer illumination is powered by the MET fuse. Both are in the fuse box that is under the bottom of the dash.

thanks for your help guys, turns out it was a 7.5A fuse under the steering wheel in the panel section.

Thank you
