Default interior lights

changed headlight switch in 1980 vet. Before I made change inside lights worked, now don't. What could I have knocked loose? Headlights work great but i don't know what i did to inside lights.

You do know that you have a fuse in the fuse panel for dash lights....right??? If my memory serves me correctly...it is a 7.5 amp. And I believe it is at the top...a dark amber colored fuse.

When you find it in the fuse panel....pull it and check it to make sure it is not blown. If it is NOT BLOWN...put it back in. Then...using a test light connected to a ground...pull the headlight switch and see if you have power getting to that fuse. IF you DO NOT...then you might have a problem with the new switch...which i have encountered before.

OR...
You might have the **** turned so the interior lights are dim.
