The headlight switch that has the dash light dimmer knob. The dimmer switch went bad and you can only fix it by getting another headlight switch on most cars. Some though have a separate dimmer switch.
it is below the headlight/dimmer knob, on the back of the dashboard. it is a pain to get to, requiring you to pretty much tear the dashboard out to get behind it
The knobs on my two just pull off, but I have seen some that have a tiny set screw in a hole in the side of the knob. The setscrew may be removed with a very small slotted screwdriver. Some need an Allen wrench to remove the setscrew.
The dimmer switch is located near the floor on the left side of the steering column. The dimmer switch and ignition switch are secured by the same two screws.

A rheostat is a variable resistor. Examples are a volume control knob or an instrument panel dimmer switch. As the resistance is increased in the switch the volume will lower or the instrument panel lights will dim.
On top of the switch there is a button, press down. Pull knob off.
First, remove the instrument bezel. Then, loosen the little set screw that holds the wiper switch knob on and remove the knob. Then, unscrew the switch bezel. Unplug the wire harness and pull the switch out of the dash. Nothing to it.
