Tailight/Dash Illumination problems

My taillights are both out, brake lights still work. Any suggestions?

also,

my dash lights are out, where exactly is the dimmer control? I have an 88 convert and cant locate it anywhere. I figure thats what I should look at first.

Please read the FAQ for FC sticky thread found at the top of this the 2nd gen RX-7 technical section. Many of the commonly asked questions (such as the one you started this thread with) are covered there.

Check your fuses, the dash lights and the tail lights are on the same fuse.
