If your accessories all work such as the headlights and dash lights why wouldn't the car start if not the battery?

Could be a number of things. Is your car attempting to turn over (whur-whur-whur sound) or do you not get any response at all when you turn the key. Things to check:
1. Battery partially drained(it takes alot more juice to start a car then to just power your accessories).
2. Ignition coil (provides electricity to your spark plug wires).
3. Distributor cap/rotor (sends this electricity to your spark plugs).
4. Fuel pump.
5. Electrical continuity, espcially grounds. Check to see if all your ground wires are fastened AND tightened.
Maybe the starter, had a problem with mine, got underneath and wiggled the connnection to the starter and would start, eventually I replaced the starter, no problems since.
You could also check the Neutral Safety Switch. This limits the vehicle to only start in Park or Neutral.

What causes the dashboard light to dim after turning on the headlights?
Because the power for your headlights is pulled from your battery. When the dashboard lights dim after turning on the headlights the dashboard lights aren't getting as much power as they were with the headlights off. With the motor running or off? The headlights draw a lot of current, but should not visibly affect other systems. There could be a problem with a worn out battery, an alternator that isn't charging correctly, or you have a bad earth between the battery and the chassis. Check the large cable connection between the battery (usually negative these days) and the bodywork, or between the engine block and the bodywork.
