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.

Why did both headlights on my2006 hyundia sonata stop working at the same time?

check your fuses. that is the most likely cause. My son had the same problem with a 1998 sonata. Fuses were fine. Apparently, the wire bundle carrying the wire for the headlights was pinched between the battery and the fuse box under the hood. His battery holder wasn't holding the battery tight and it moved towards this wire and pinched it. Once that wiring bundle was moved above the battery, then the headlights worked!
