What is wrong with the instrument panel lights on my 2003 GMC Envoy XL?
I have a 2003 GMC Envoy XL SLT. I was driving the other night and from out of nowhere my instrument panel lights started fading in and out. This did not affect the headlights, tail lights, or brake lights, warning lights, only thing affected was the brightness of the instrument panel lights. When they are not fading in and out, they are bright as normal. I notice however that when I turn on the headlights and fog lamps that's when the issue arises. I am thinking it is the instrument panel dimmer switch (see photo). Is there something else I should be looking for? Ive hear it could be the alternator but wouldn't that affect everything? I do realize that at night with the headlights on, that the instrument panel lights dim somewhat to make it easier on the eyes. but, the lights are going completely dark at times and then going back to normal brightness. Adjusting the instrument panel dimmer knob has no affect other than when I turn it all the way to turn on the interior lights, which works fine.
My dimmer lights in my 2002 Mazda Protege dont work?
I had the same problem with my Jeep Wrangler. My tail lights were also not working. Turns out the same fuse controls both (at least in my vehicle) and when the tail lights go out, the dimmer goes out so you know there's a problem. Check your fuse.

What type of lighting to use inside a home?
You can use incandescent, fluorescent or halogen lighting fixtures meant for indoor use inside a home. For example, you can purchase incandescent wall lights that are connected to a dimmer switch with incandescent lamping. Fluorescent lights might be in models of ceiling lights, chandeliers and pendant lights. Fluorescent lights are energy efficient lighting choices. Halogen lamps are used in some recessed lighting for indoor use. Floor lamps may also use halogen bulbs. Read carefully to see what type of indoor lighting can withstand damp settings such as the bathroom.

What would cause the dash broad lights to come on and off but only the dash broad lights?
Answer 1 - Instrument Lights Operate IntermittentlyWithout doing a "hands on troubleshooting" of your vehicle, no one here can be certain of the specific location and cause of your problem. However, based on your question, I suspect that the cause is a loose connection in the circuit providing power to the instrument lights, or on the instrument panel circuit board itself.It is possible also, that the instrument panel dimmer switch is wearing out.Answer 2 -The dash dimmer switch or the headlight switch is the most likely problem.

Where do you set the switch for the 1991 Plymouth voyager's interior lights so the dimmer works to shut them out?
On many cars, there is a dimmer switch which controls the instrument panel lights. If this switch is turned all the way, it may cause the overhead light to come on. The overhead light will then stay on even after doors have all been closed. Find the dimmer switch, close the doors, wait 30 seconds, and then turn the dimmer switch.
