Another reason that the dashlights are not coming on could be that the panel light dimmer is turned all the way down. Look around on the dashboard for a knob which doesn't seem to do anything. While in the dark, with the vehicle lights on, turn the knob back and forth. On some cars, if the knob is turned all the way one way or the other, it will turn on the dome light.
It is also possible the light bulbs are burnt out, depending on the mileage of the car.
