Like the title says, my speedometer lights and stereo lights turn on when my headlights are off, but as soon as I turn on the headlights, the stereo/speedo lights shut off. I tried shutting off the engine, taking the key out and restarting. Can't figure it out and Id rather not pay a dealer to fix it. Any ideas?

it may sound really stupid, but did you double check the dimmer switch on the dash? i havent been around my car in like 6 months so i cant remember if you can dim it all the way, but i would check that first.

+1 you can dim it pretty low. make sure thats up all the way.

Not sure how much like the 1st gen tC they are, but I had the same problem with my tC. It was a blown fuse under the dash, not under the hood.

Yeah definitely check all your fuses before you bring your car into the dealership. From what I remember the ones under the hood is a lot more accessible over the ones under the steering wheel. Good luck with your issue though and keep us posted!
