Check to make certain that your tail lights are working, as they are often on the same circuit and protected by the same fuse as the instrument panel lights. If the tail lights are working, a couple of possibilities are the rheostat that controls the brightness is defective or there is a chassis ground for the instrument panel lights that isn’t making a good connection.
