Can we know what car this is so the thread can be moved to the appropriate area?
Filling the site with multiple threads is not the way to do things.

sounds like the dimmer is turned right down?
lift the lever and hold it up, see if the brightness increases

do you turn the headlight switch on and everything lights up headlights ect, also your warning lights on your dash work, indicator lights on the dash light up, high beam indicator light on dash and all gauges work just not our lights that light up the dash at night?
