Default Please help with my question

What would cause my instrument panel lights to go out when I turn on my headlights? They work fine until my headlights come on.

Thanks,
Jim Boggs

Along the left side of the instrument panel there should be a round button that you can click in and out and turn. Make sure that it is turned all the way clockwise, which will set the instrument lights at full brightness. Hopefully they're just turned down.

Yep, as B-ras said, check the dimmer. If its up and still not working, I'm thinking the headlamp switch or the BCM itself.
