It's the ring around the light switch, you can turn it to adjust the dashboard brightness, and if it
fails the lights stop working. Check if you have the movable ring, you can fix the backlight by
bypassing the dimmer with a wire (I forget which terminals to bridge, but you basically need to
provide a new ground path).

Never even knew that it was their! I'll have a look when I get the car back and see what's what with it. Sure mine is a fixed ring. Never known it to move.
