I have to guess how fast im going, the speedometer doesn't even light up? The entire dash lighting is screwed up, and I lost warrantary. I knew I should have bought American..
 
check the fuse, if not, check the bulbs inside...

all cars, american, german, japanese...no matter who made them will all have problems, some fewer than others, so don't give up on Honda...
 
I like American made cars too lol. A fuse is probably blown or your dial is turned down. That light can be adjusted and the dial is usually on the left of the steering wheel. Try twisting that first. If thats not it i'd say you have a blown fuse.
 
I have a certain feeling that it isn't a matter of night or day. Three probablilities:
1) Your light is broken and you don't notice it during the day,
2) Your clock is set incorrectly and it thinks it is nighttime when it is actually day time, and visa versa,
3) You have the adjustment all the way down low and you need to turn the dashboard brighter. Look at you manual how to do this.
Good luck!
 
are there any other dash lights that are working? for example is there a light in the ashtray or radio lights up? if so when you adjust the dimmer switch do they change intensity? if they do you may have either a loose connection to instrument cluster or something as simple as bulbs burnt out in cluster. if you have no dash lights at all i would look at the fuse first if that is good i would then check to see if there are any loose wire or plugs under dash. if you adjust the switch and lights adjust but not "smoothly" then i would suspect headlight switch.
