Dashboard Lights Stopped Working

Whenever I turn on my headlights my speedometer lights go dark and I can't see how fast I'm going. The turning lights still work.

Check all the little dials and buttons and see if any of them adjust all the lights. Depending on make, model, and year, you could have a button that pushes/pulls to turn the headlights off/on and turns to adjust the dash lights. Some cars will just have a little dial over to one side, usually left of the steering column.

You may just have a bad fuse. Do some searching around in the owners' manual and see if you can get a clue. Get it checked out by someone who knows what they are doing though if you don't know how to do it yourself
