Dash lights out?

Trying to trace down the reason my dash lights are not working. Odd thing is that the blinker lights, gauage lights etc work, but not the night time dash lights. No fuses are blown. Is there an inline fuse that anyone knows of that could be the cause. i couldnt find one if there is one. Any help would be appreciated. Btw, it happened when my inline fuse for my stereo blew, ive replaced that with no problems. What could have shorted out? All the bulbs are good too.

sounds like a bad ground!!
have fun tracing it, I dunno where the ground is for the lights
