Are you sure the dimmer isn't turned down?

I moved the dimmer up and down to see while I was driving but did not help. The car was recently in the body shop for minor paint...chips on the hood...could it be the night sensor?

I'll bet that your taillights don't come on either when you turn the headlights. That a fuse is blown...

I went out last night and started the car and moved the dimmer switch up and the instrument light came on...the runnings lights were on as well. I know I moved the dimmer up and down while I was driving in attempt to get them to come on. They originally went out right around dusk while driving. I still think there is a problem maybe the sensor is goinng bad? Time will tell the next time I'm driving at night...Thanks for all the help...
