Im not sure how to go about tackling this problem, when i turn my lights on, the instrument cluster light, the clock light (at the bottom of the instrument cluster) and the radio light are very very dim can barely tell its on. but when i turn the lights off (headlight switch all the way off) the clock light (bottom of instrument cluster) and radio light (stock tape deck) go back to full brightness.

is the instrument cluster bulb bad? or could it be a bad relay or a switch or something a bad ground?

ps. also go dim if just the parking lights are on. Ive done no work to my car its all stock.

You didn't mension if you tried turning the dimmer switch. Does it do anything? If not, it may be bad.
