dashboard lights not working
#24
Possibly, that would be my next step after the dimmer switch. I'd replace the dimmer first because they tend to be the problem more than the bubble sensor, mostly because the potentiometer is prone to corrosion and failure

That does make sense, moving parts and all.

I've played around with mine before. The bubble just has an on and off in mine. No multiple "degrees".
The reason you see certain dash lights turn off is because those are only on when the actual headlights are on.
Now, there are a couple of other lights that will stay on in any mode as evidenced by you're 2nd pic. I guess those aren't considered part of the dash/headlight circuit or like in the old days the parking lights system.

Must be like this(at least on mine): some backlights go off when the headlights go off. Other lights, mostly ones that are showing messages(DIC, Radio, RPD) get brighter so that they are not washed out by ambient light.
esmarkey, looks like you have 2 HHRs, and one is not functioning in the same way as the other?
It looks like most of us discussing this have different year models, so there may be slight differences from one year to the next in functionality. We need someone with an '08 to chime in to see what exactly yours should be doing.
Here's hopin' the new dimmer fixes it!
