Default EG Interior Lights

I have 92 Civic Hatch Si and for some reason my interior lights keep going out. Like the lights on my gauge cluster, climate control, etc. The only way to turn them back on is to just wait it out or to press the light dimmer really hard, but it is getting worse and they shut off a lot more often. Does anyone know what could cause this???

ps: not sure if this is the right forum for this post???

Another bump, I'm having the exact same problem. Rumor has it that the dimmer switches go bad, so it causes a bad connection. Not sure if there is a fix for it, hope someone can help out more.

for me i don't think it is that, because only have the climate control goes dim, but will go back on whenever it wants, not like when i hit it do idk if its a connector thing. but id still like to know.

i actually have a very simlar problem in my EJ8. except mine dont come in and out.. they're just out. for good. they have been that way for a while. lol. night driving &gt; me.

i am skeptical to buy a new dimmer switch b/c they are $80.. and i am not positive thats the problem.
