I was driving around the lancer and I noticed the lighting for the speedo/tach/LCD was dimming. I ignored it for a while and one day I got in the car and they were totally out. Not only that but I also noticed the ashtray, lighter, auto tranny gear indicator, temp, fan, and air flow lights were also out. So I went with Lightrikz kit, and none of the bulbs work. I checked the fuses the manual said had to do with lights and all seem to be functioning. I went to AutoZone and bought a replacement bulb for the LCD backlight and that also didn't light up.
Anyone have any ideas or advice, I plan on moving soon to New Mexico and it be sure nice to be able to see how fast I'm going at night on my way there.

I ordered a new rheostat (in cabin dimmer switch), I heard if that goes out that it effects all the lights that are dimmed by it. Hopefully this fixes the problem and if it does hopefully it can help others.

I think you may be correct with the dimmer switch this sounds like the likely cause

Did it turn out to be the rheostat?
