I'm assuming that they did work before?, and did you try turning the light switch clockwise that dims and brightens the interior lights? usually that switch just fails. there is another thread out here in regards to console lights not coming on.

Check if you are getting voltage to the inst lamp fuse with the parking lights on. It should vary from 0-12v when you turn the dimmer. If there is no voltage on the fuse it's probally the dimmer switch assuming the ground is good. If you have voltage on the fuse then you may have a open connection between the fuse box and the gray wire going to the dash lights. I had this problem on mine and I ran a wire from the inst. fuse to the gray wire.

No offensense, but I would not just bypass a problem area/wire,
find the problem... it could be a wire pulled loose, or scraping and/or cut.
you don't want something shorting out down the road.
If you have to split the loom open, and start following the wire.
you don't want your car to catch on fire someday down the road, Do you ?
