Check the Dimmer Switch " the switch in the guage cluster bezel" Also, if your anywhere in the VA beach/Norfolk area I have like 2 you could try.

Look man, either your light bulb burnt out, you dont have power or you dont have ground. Get a test light and a meter and check it out. Its some of the easiest stuff you can do.

do you got a multimeter? if so do a continuity test on the actual bulb if its easy to reach.

I had the same problem with my 89 Civic Si. I checked every fuse, connections and plugs & it wasn't none of that. Was the lighting or turn signal switch. I sprayed WD-40 into the mechanism while I was turning the head lights on & off.

On a car of that age its common for connections on things like that. But as long as his headlights and bumper lights are comming on its not a problem.
