Does it have dash lights? Today was the first time I drove my car at night, and I couldn't see my speedo, etc, at all. The warning lights were bright and fine, but the speedo/temp/gas were all unlit. I'm not sure, but I believe I saw a dimmer switch to the left of the steering column, and it was halfway turned. Are my dash lights just out, or does the car just lack those lights?

no. all cars have dash lights. turn the dimmer switch, and if that doesnt work, check fuses and you can remove the guage cluster and there are little light bulbs plugged in behind it you can check.
