Do you mean that the interior lights dim, when the ignition key is turned?
This usually indicates a dead or discharged battery.
Batteries can be notoriously temperamental at this time of year, the temperature of the electrolyte is critical to their function. A cold or chilled battery, will not provide as much power as a warmer battery.
Checking items such as Drivebelt Tension, Electrolyte levels, terminal cleanliness and security, are more important at this time of year, when temperatures are low.
Initially, you should try recharging the battery, using a battery charger, preferably indoors where the battery can warm up quicker. Normally Trickle-charging the battery for about an hour or two, should be sufficient to start most cars. Although if you have an old battery, it may be better to replace it.
**IMPORTANT**
Always check and balance the electrolyte levels BEFORE charging, otherwise the battery can be damaged.
It is a module under the dash.

In my 02 Aztek, I turn the headlight knob (on the dash left of the steering wheel, above your left knee) clockwise to get the interior lights to come on.
Remove the fuse on the interior fuse box
Make sure that the interior light intensity knob didn't go all the way up because there is a point where it goes from "high" to the "on" position. You can feel it as you raise the intensity when it clicks over to on. This will keep your interior lights on.
Check fuses if there is one specific for the lights (not interior) Find it funny that both would burn out at the same time so would imagine it is in the switch.
the quickest and easiest way to do it on any car is to pull the e-brake lever up until it clicks just one time.

Just happened to me. We thought it was the fuel pump; turns out it was a bad ignition switch. Turn on interior lights, try to start van, when you release the key and engine quits and interior lights go out at the same time, that's what it is.
door switch is bad or dirty try spraying with wd40 or replaceing.
There's a solinoid in the transmission.Suggest to check that first. Turn on interior lights. Start engine. If the lights go out when the engine stalls, you have a bad ignition switch.
