Have had the front of my car including lights off this weekend; now my instrument (speedo/fuel) lights arn't working!

Are they connected into the headlamps anywhere or am I more likely to have blown the bulbs?

All the other dash lights are working

EDIT: Now the MFD has packed in; any ideas?

Well, does your radio work (this shares the same fuse as the MFD/instrument panel/glovebox light)? If not its probabaly the fuse (fuse 17).

I'm guessing though that because the lights turn on when you turn the headlamps on there must be some connection?
