Default Dash lights

I have a 97 civic hatch with 99-00 dash conversion. The illumination lights used to flicker on and off but stay steady most times. Now, the lights don't even turn on any more. The bulbs look ok. I have a feeling power is not getting to where it needs to be. I guess I need to find out which wire I'm supposed to check. Ideas?

I figured it out. On the smaller grey clip, the red/black wire is the one that supplies a 12v when the light switches on. It wasn't getting 12v for whatever reason so I just tapped another 12v source into it. dimmer and everything else works. I'm happy.
