I would check your fuses first. Also might wanna make sure that the plugs for the bulbs aren't bent or sucked out.

Do what the guy on top of me said first then if that doesn't work I might end up being a alternator problem

i know you said that you cant find the grounds but id start there or start doing voltage drop and ohm test on the lighting system. sounds like a bad wire or ground on that side of the ciruit.

That circuit grounds through the combo switch to G401, which is under the gauge assembly. You need to look for bad connections, including that ground, then do a combo switch test.
