check your fuses. if those are ok it could be a wiring problem. my brothers 98 ex is like that right now.

If the HVAC and switch illumination lights are working when lights are on the culprit is most likely the cluster illumination bulbs have all opened up. They may be common #74 bulbs, I would check and see.

When missing all illumination lights it usually related to the dimmer rheostat box on the 96-00 Civics.
