Dimmer == the **** that controls the intensity of those lights.... it's to the right of the wheel, as I recall?

It's a little black round thingy

Its on the left hand side of your dash...left of the steering wheel of course.

Happened to mine too.

An easy fix, what I did anyways.....

You can pop the entire dimmer switch out of the dash, using a flathead screwdriver to pry it out. It's not hard to do, so there really isn't much force needed...so you don't risk breaking it.

I believe there are 3 wires in the back. Power in, Power out, and ground.

I took a bobby pin (you can use anything, like a paperclip) I cut off the ends, so I only had a "U" shape left. Jam each side into the power in, and power out wires. This bypasses the dimmer switch....and the lights work again.

I have never understood why anyone would want to dim the lights anyways...it's not like they're so bright they hurt your eyes. So, you lose the dimmer effect...but you get your lights back.

If you ever want to have the dimmer, just buy a new switch.....you can find them on Ebay alot.

I just tried like 8,000,000 times to load a picture from a floppy disk, and every single time, it says "ERROR WEBSITE NOT RESPONDING".....so, I give up. Restarted the computer, restarted the browser....nothing. What a silly silly website. : \
