I had that problem, I bypassed the reostat, problem solved. I don't need to dim the dash lights, their fine full on.

Good idea. I think I will bypass the Rheo too, it is completely unnecessary. Just another potential failure point.

Yep, same problem here. No dash lights except for headlight and high-beam indicators. Traced it to the dimmer, bypassed the dimmer, now I have nice illumination. They are not overly bright anyway, so I'm going to leave it.

Thanks
How do I get to the reostat? Throught the dash behind the gauges?

I pulled the upper consoled, the one with the radio in it. I just took the screws out, and tipped it forward. You can remove the switch to make it easier to work on and then once you bypass the switch, put the switch back in the hole.
