If you turn on your headlamps, then the instrument panels automatically dim! It is a stupid feature as it always assumes it is night when you turn on your lights, and thinks dimming you other dash lights is ok, as it is stil dark enough to see.

My guess is that the panel dimmer is flaky. It's a common occurence on LH cars, and it's likely that the resistance element in other dc vehicles is similar or identical design/materials/source/problems. The advice on the LH forums for the problem is to simply move the dimmer knob to a slightly different spot - maybe move it thru its range a few times in case it's a wiper dirt/corrosion problem. Last resort: replace the dimmer.
