Did you check the cluster light switch on the left side of your steering wheel? Little turning ****.

If that doesn't work, trace the wire from cluster to the fuse box. See if there's continuity. Easy to check. Put a DMM between the back of the cluster and fuse.

Also check the cluster ground.

from what i have heard, if the eg dimmer switch fails, it can burn out the lights or something in the cluster?

OP, if the tail lights ARE working, get a multimeter, pop out your Dashlight Brightness Controller and perform the following test on it:

I had same issue with my eg I replaced the dimmer switch and that fixed it for a while but after a while they started flickering it turned out to be the headlight switch on the column. Now if I wiggle it they will come on. Good luck

- dimmer switch
- headlight switch (steering column)
- blown fuse due to expose "DIMMER" wire behind the radio

It's ONE of the above.
