possible blown HG?

Do the gauges light up when the headlights are turned on? If not it's quite likely that the dimmer died. As long as there isn't a short you can pull the dimmer and jumper the white wire with the black stripe and the white wire with the green stripe... I recommend using a 7.5A fuse in between the two. If this works, you may either leave it this way (the gauges will stay lit a full) or replace the dimmer.

The Dome light issue is either a bad ground inside the enclosure, a bad Dome fuse or a bad door switch... if you can't turn the Dome on manually either, it's usually the ground inside the dome light assembly.

I had a problem with my interior lights before as well, when I did finally get them fixed my back left tail light kepts burning out, if that happens you're in the same boat as me, as I've been trying to figure out my tail light problem for about a year now ;;

If the bulbs are actually burning out you most likely need to replace the tail lamp housing's seal. If they weren't actually burning out AND the right side was also cutting out at the same time, it would probably be a problem with the tail lamp failure module.
