Should I be hunting for a missing ground? Did my light switch in the dash go bad?
That's where I'd start. You can follow the socket wire to the ground screw and remove and clean the connection to the body, or you can us a volt meter between the +12 wire in the socket and a ground point on the body if you have +12 there the light switch feed is ok. Then check the socket for +12 across the two pins (+12 and ground) If you get less than +12 it's a ground problem.

THIS IS NOT a ground problem, probably. IN order for this to be a ground problem, you'd have to lose the ground path on BOTH the parking lighs and instrument lights, which are completely separate
I'd say a bad switch, or the connector/ connection on the switch. I didn't bother o check the diagram, but if the it could be in the fuse circuit, too.

Sounds like the headlight switch to me too. Get a diagram and jump it out to straight power, (the brown wire in the connector I think) If that works its the switch, if not its farther downstream.
