Maybe switch.
Have you checked your brake lights? As I recall, it they go out, so do your dash lights. Can't recall any connection with parking lights.

+1. Check your stop lamp fuse. It will make the gauge cluster, front parking, and brake lights all go out. Probable cause on this is a bulb shorting out on one of your tail lamp circuit boards. The boards can be had from the dealer for pretty cheap (<$15) and Napa as well.

If only your headlights stay on and nothing else then it's your TCU(Timing Control Unit). This is either in front or behind the Anti-theft module under your dash on driver side. Just remove the panel under the steering wheel close to your knees and look for a small white box. Open it and its your TCU. Get that at your local junkyard and all your lights will come back on or just fix the circuit board. Good Luck.
