I have a 2001 Z06 last night I was going out for dinner and when I turned on the headlights my computer,radio & ac lights went out. Everything still worked just the illumination went out when I turn off the headlights everything comes back on. Has anyone run into this or something similar?

Look to the left of your steering wheel (near the HUD controls) and turn the ****

-edit: if you can't turn it, push on it first to pop it out.

I agree, it sounds like your interior lights dimmer **** is turned down. You should really put something in the title that describes the question you have, ?????? is going to be hard to search or find if anyone is looking for help on the same issue.
