the dash lights will also go out if your tail lights (both of them? i'm not sure) have gone out. this was, at least, a feature in my family's '88 legend. it's sort of a warning indicator to tell you to replace/fix the tail lights, cuz most people don't check to make sure their tail lights are working every time they start their car.
the problem with our legend was the dimmer switch - not the interior light dimmer, but the switch to turn the headlights on and off. this might not be your problem, but i hope it helps.
