sounds like the dimmer rheostat is broken.

Check the fuse for your taillights. I had this issue but was consist where all the dash lights were real dim. Someone told me at night that I had no tail lights. Replaced the fuse and I had tail lights again and dash lights.


Side note: my brake lights worked but tail lights did not.
