If not then the dimmer switch could be something to look at as its highly unlikely all the bulbs would go at the same time!!

Seriously? I have owned a few B's now all for a few years plus each and never once had that problem. Only problem with bulbs I had were the heater control bulbs went out. I presume this problem is with the binnacle bulbs??

Yeah as said I've never experienced all the lights fail at once, I've had cheap bulbs that fused quickly but I've had my Smds in for over a year now and there still going

There is no dimmer for the dash lights.
There's power at the fuse so I don't understand how it's not getting to the bulbs

Is it really? I can't see any obvious way to do it. How much of the dash needs to come out?
