No Dash Lights Popping any amperage fuse!! HELP!!

There should be a tan wire running from one of the terminals on the headlight switch to the fuse. The other side of that fuse should be at least one orange wire going to the instrument panel lights. Other orange wires might be piggy-backed going to the radio dial light for example. I wouldn't think a new headlight switch would be bad (but ya never know), I'd say either the tan wire or orange wire(s) are shorting out somewhere.
