Your dash lights are supposed to dim when you turn on the head lights. So they are not as bright at night. Are you saying they are dimming more then they should?

To test this turn on your head lights and increase the brightness of the dash using the controls to the left of the steering wheel. If you increase the dash lights all the way to maximum while the head lights are on. It will put the dash lights in a "parade mode" where they are full brightness even with the lights on. now turn the head lights on and off. The dash shouldnt dim at all. If after this it still dims I would say its a problem
