Just all off of sudden I lost dash lights, it seems to be related to the signal indicator and high beam switch the tach and speedometer are fine but the four smaller gauges at the top go crazy, i think maybe a grounding issue any suggestions?

If the dash illumination lights are out at the same time that the turn signal  and high beam indicators are on (likely glowing instead of full brightness). Then you are probably looking at a poor ground to the cluster.  The cluster grounds at G202, which is supposed to be located behind the left side of the dash and possibly near the DLC connector. Also the ground connects to the cluster at terminals N and Q. The wires are black.
