Year make and model Please. Head lights could be a bad light switch. could also be a bad turn signal switch. The cluster, If other lights come on, IE.. radio, hvac control. Then it could be a bad wire or bad connection at the plug. Could also be a broken connection in the cluster(older ones had a plastic cover with leads in them) (newer ones could be a bad solder joint).

Since your question doesn't include make and model the answers given will likely be generic in scope.

If you have a light switch on the dash or if it's on the steering column it could be either the switch itself or you may want to start with the battery lead and ignition leads to the switch. A bad dimmer will cause problems with the instrument cluster lights but that gets its power from the light switch. While it is a long shot, you can check fuses in all fuse boxes, generally one under the hood near the battery and one under the dash near the driver. Fuse issues come about after an accident involving damage to any of the outside perimeter lights and can include wiring damage as well.

The 97 Bonneville. That has. The twilight sentinel feature. The dash. Or cluster does not work none of the int light works and the fog lamp all fuses are goods

Twilight feature is used by the BCM to turn on the headlights when light levels diminish. Dash, cluster lighting is controlled by a rheostat near the headlight switch. The rheostat is rolled up for brighter lights. If this does not work the interior module may have burned out or the rheostat may be bad. If interior lights come on when rheostat is rolled fully up it most likely is OK. Interior lighting module is located above the headlight switch beside the cluster on the left side.

Does your cluster intensity decreases when you hide the photocell? The photocell aperture is on the upper left corner of the dash cluster. If it does not, this gentleman can repair it for you or provide the repair kit: http://www.batee.com/corvette/dcrg/photocell/

Have your battery tested or first clean the terminals and cables. Check the ground cables, not just the one on the battery but frm engine to body etc etc.

My dash lights and gages are not working and my night driving lights are not working either... do i need a new cluster

If you mean the parking lights, they are not affected by the cluster.
The gauges are on one fuse, the dash lights are on another, and the parking lights on a third circuit.
I would check for power at the fuses then headlight switch for the lighting problems. And for voltage at the fuse and the connector on the back of the cluster for the gauges problem.

On the components, you might try a separate ground. See if that helps? Check the battery negative connections. I've seen this even on newer vehicle where instrument cluster or whatever would dim a little when you turn on headlamps. I think it's a ground issue? Just my opinion.
On any component that doesn't work, check voltage and ground, you could try a redundant ground.
