Default Interior lighting issues?

Hey guys noticed this yesterday, and investigated today.
First and for most ALL FUSES ARE GOOD. Even replaced them today.

Some interior lights aren't working..
The gauges work, little instrument panel on the left of guages work & ash tray work.
When I turn my headlight switch all the way to the left and it clicks, its what triggers the dome light and floor lights on..well nothing happens. My dome & floor lights work whenever doors are open but I can't manually trigger them..
I'm guessing its just a headlight switch problem..how do I remove/fix it though?

Then the Havc, fog light symbol, rear defrost symbol & rear wash/wipe symbol don't light up when they should! They all have a tiny, I mean tiny light bulb but other than all the bulbs being blown what would cause this?

Again all fuses checked, the dome and floor light is because the headlight switch. But what about the other lights?

"But what about the other lights?"

They are burned out. Pull instrument cluster bezel and replace.

Other lights..don't think gauge cluster at all, its none of that!

You know where the headlight switch is? The fog light button is directly to the right of it! Then theres the rear defrost, and on the other side of the steering colum is the rear wipe/defrost..
Normally theres a power/comfort button for automatics but I have a manual!
Anyway the 3 listed above and the HAVC panel doesn't light up! I've pulled it apart, I've replaced bulbs, No shorted or cut wires...idk why those lights won't light up?
