Do you have any photos? Sounds like you have a vanwagon which is a bit different, but we can perhaps help.

I believe people in the states buy those, bring them to Canada and have them "converted" into Delicas to legally import them.

Do you have a manual for your van? I would first check the fuse box for a blown fuse. I once experienced all my cluster lights, running lights and stereo all go out at the same time. It was due to a plastic connector in the battery bay that turned out to be fried ~ but remember that there are differences between a JDM L300 Delica and a NA L300 Vanwagon.

Maybe they are tied into another fuse, does your horn work?
