Backlights on dash stopped working?

Hey, this is for a 1992 I4 Camry

For a while now the lights behind my climate control knobs (hot/cold, where the air goes etc.) havent been working...Just yesterday I started up the car, turned on the lights and the backlights for my tach and speedometer didnt light up! It was night time so it was clearly visible. So when its night I have a hard time seeing my speed/revs and changing the climate control...

What could be causing them to stop working? I doubt the bulbs are dead, could it just be a blown fuse? Has anyone ever had this happen?

Thanks

I just checked all the fuses, then I sat down and tested it out, still didnt work...Then I looked at the little dimmer to the left of my steering wheel and realised it was turned all the way down...I turned it up, all works, silly mistake lol. All good now
