Default Electrical issues

Hi All
I need some help. Driving home yesterday after a few days out of town, 300 miles, toward the last 50 or so was dark and needed to turn on headlights. When I turned them on my dash went dark, so couldn't see speed limit, gas gage, mileage, nothing! Headlights on, but dark dash, the only thing on it was the green headlight icon. Last time I used headlights was Thursday evening as i didn't drive my car whilst away, other than to drive home. At this time all was well.
Might anyone have any ideas as to what may have caused this? Any advice or suggestions are welcome.
Please help!!!
thank you
Diana

My guess: your car has a dash-light dimming dial, which goes from High to Low to Off, which is where yours is currently set.
