I know it sounds silly but it\'s not because I was that silly :) Erm, is the dimmer switch fully up. I forgot I turned mine down and thought I\'d lost the dash lights...wasn\'t embarassed or anything ;)

By sidelights you don\'t mean the side markers do you (orange front, red rear?)?

wow i did the same thing.
so obvious but that dimmer had me confused for a few hrs.
Oh and you sure your fuses are ok.
MX5\'s have the same problem, the fuse holder conectors get a little dirty and cleaning them makes em work again and bunno if its the same on the RX but sidelights and dash lights are on the same fuse on mx5\'s.
