Was there any work done behind the dash or in that area? Could a ground have been left off? I am assuming by interior lights you mean the dash lights or are the actual interior lights (in the rear view mirror) not working too?
The tell tale lights and indicators like low oil pressure and charging light are independent from the dash/instrument lights so you should see other lights even when the dash lights are being ornery.
There is a dash illumination rheostat and control module in place to adjust the gauge lights to your preferred setting. As Tony asked, is it turned down?
A little more history as to what was done to get the car road worthy might be helpful to point you in a general direction. Also calling the different systems by their proper names will also keep us from going off target with our suggestions.
You can email or call me (North Carolina) if you want some help with the electrical part of the dash lights. It isn't a standard variable resistor like the old British cars ie TR/MG/Jag, etc, it is actually a PWM regulated system.
