The lights are dark until I turn the headlight switch all the way to the
point where the overhead and map lights come on... then the panel lights up.
Is there a separate fuse for the dimmed panel lights I do not know about? Do
I need a new headlight switch?  Thanks.

I believe this describes a bad rheostat in the light switch.  I don't think
you can replace it seperately.
