Help- Dash lights go out when headlights are on!

The day before yesterday my lights were fine. Then last night I went to drive somewhere and the lights on the Stereo and climate control went out when I turned on the headlights. THe clock is also dimmed but does not go out entirely. I checked fuses and didn't find anything wrong. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks

Check your dimmer switch. The stereo/AC dim separate from the clock so that could explain it.

You must have hit your dimmer switch. I've done that a few times while cleaning the dash. Just turn the dial and you'll get your dash lights back!

Argh. I was sure I tried that. Thanks for the help. Must be the tequila affecting my brain.
