    I hate to ask, but have you made sure your dimmer switch isn't turned down all the way?

    okay, let's start with the basics...

    Did you make any changes to your truck that may have affected the electrical system, add lights or a winch...?

    Did you check your fuse boxes for any blown fuses?

    Does the dash and radio lights work when the headlights are off?

    Dimmer al the way up, dash lites are dim when headlights on probably due to reflection of the other lights, oil, radio lite is also dim
