Default Gauge Cluster Lights Cut out..?

Ok here goes..i was driving along and hit a slight bump in the road...and all of a sudden my instrument panel lights go out...its basically the Tach and Speedometer lights and i think the A/C cluster lights that wont come on...also i noticed that when i switch my parking lights on they wont come on but my hazards work...What should i look for in the morning? A certain Fuse? and where?

It's probably your dimmer switch. It may have a short. If not it might be your gauge bulbs.
