Make sure the brightness knob isn't turned down too far. When the headlights are off, the instrument panel is lit by an automatic system that assumes it's daylight and gives the panel a lot of illumination. When you turn on the headlights, it changes to the system used in most cars, which depends on where you set the brightness control, which is located somewhat near the leftmost vent.
