Default Interior light dimmer not working

Hi all
When i turn on my headlights my gauge, switch lights radio and heat/ac lights don't change and the gauge lights don't come on. Any ideas? Could it be the dimmer switch or the headlight switch or something else? Please help.
Thanks
Jay

If your dimmer isn't changing anything when the headlamps are on, then its probably your headlamp switch itself. Do you have the twilight sentinel and if so, is it turned on and if so, do the interior lamps work normally then?

You should consider posting in your profile what year and model of Corvette that you have. If the lamps turn on when you open the door either entering or leaving, have you checked the dimmer control once the door is closed? I know it sounds funny but believe me, its happened before.

Thank you all. I'm going to check it all out when the storm passes. I think the owner before changed the gauges because it has the hud switchs and i believe the 01 z06's did not come with it.
Thanks
Jay
