Check fuses, check dash light dimmer switch. Do your parking lights come on when you turn them on with your head light switch. Check for power to all.

If you've just installed an aftermarket stereo then this might be the solution for you: On most aftermarket stereos there's no wire connection for the Dimmer and/or Illumination (or there's a hook up for either the Illumination or Dimmer wire) and usually most people just tape them off and push them back. Well in the Chevrolet Malibu all of the Instrument Panel (to include the factory stereo) are wired together so that if one wire is disconnected it all goes out. So in order for you to get your Instrument Panel lights working again you must splice the two wires together.

In laymans terms, you have to connect the Dimmer wire [Brown (not striped)] and the Illumination wire [Grey (not striped)] together. If your problem was the same as mine then this should do the trick
