Sounds like a bad dimmer switch. Carefully pry the switch out of the dash, unplug the connector, and then install a jumper wire into the free connector in such a way as to connect the Red and Black wires. Do the lights now work?

+1... had this problem in my 93 Civic EX way back when. Replaced the dimmer switched and everything worked fine.

BTW, why the hell is this thread in the ECU tuning/Fuel Management section?

the nub prolly saw tuning and thought it had to do with tuning the car like a tune up or something and figured the question could be asked here...lol

Hey just be happy he/she wasnt asking if they could hook there dimmer switch to vtec so they could control when vtec kicks in and how power it is LOL

I have a dimmer switch for sale. $5 plus shipping

it's faded (I think), so just pop the front cover off and swap the cover with your old one. Selling it really cheap because it's faded.
