Strange Problem - All Lights out except Headlights ??

I have a pretty serious problem all of a sudden, have searched everyone and haven't seen it anywhere else.

My headlights and Foglights work, but no other exterior lights work (Sidemarkers, Parking lights, taillights, DRL) however brake lights and blinkers do work.

Also on the interior all the console lights are out, but the gauges still work.
The interior lights and window switch lights do still work.

Very strange problem, have checked a lot of fuses but they all look good.

Any ideas would be appreciated, Im afraid Im going to get rear ended on the way home from work tonight

I recently bought some hyper-white LED's from vleds.com for my tag lights and they caused this exact same problem.. Come to find out a fuse had blown in the fuse panel under the hood. So I put a 15A in and tossed the old 10A. This solved my problem

Fixed it, it was the fuse labeled "Small Light" Whatever that means

Good deal, I was gonna say it's one of the 10A's closer to the driver fender

Pull the switchbacks and then replace with a 10
If it doesn't blow then you have a bad switchback

Mine are on their way back to autolumination right now...

Yeah, wish I could but CO is getting dumped on with snow.

It went out yesterday while driving in the blizzard. I think I may have a short

Well put in a 15 and turn on the lights, whatever one is still out is the one causing the problem

I do not agree with up-ing the fuse
But you are correct. It is one switchback that has caused the havok.
