The little thumbwheel on the dash?  Take your thumb. 
Rotate the wheel all the way to the right.  Then all
the way to the left.  Do this until your thumb is
sore.  Then switch to your index finger.  Continue on
down the line until one hand is sore and calloused. 
Then switch to the other hand.  

At some point in all this masochism (provided your
battery is hooked up and the bulbs are OK) you should
begin to see a flicker of light.  Eventually you will
get the lights working well on one brightness seting. 
If you have tough hands, you may get them working on a
few different settings.

Some expensive electrical cleaning solution doused on
the switch before-hand and during the process may
expedite things somewhat.
