So I have used the search button but sometimes it is harder to find the info you are looking for because nobody has had the same problem...(or at least I could find someone with it).

So I recently purchased a 2003 Golf (love it by the way) and every works just fine until two days ago. My dash lights don't come on when I turn my headlights on. They did just fine for the first couple of days but then they stopped. Now, I have to turn the head lights on and off a few times for the dash lights to come on. Secondly, I when I couldn't figure this out, I tried to see if my dimmer switch was all the way down. It didn't fix the problem but when I did get the dash lights to come back on, I realized that my dimmer switch didn't work at all.

Could that be the problem or do I have two problems to deal with? I have already ordered the dimmer switch so I am just looking for info.

Replace the headlight switch. They are cheap and take 10 seconds to pop in and out. It's common for the switch to go bad.

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

So I got my dimmer switch in and it didn't fix the problem.

My problem is simple. I can't get the dimmer switch to work and dim my dash lights. It isn't a big deal but it is something that doesn't work. I ordered a dimmer switch off ebay and it didn't fix it. Any ideas on what to do next?
