Did they work before you replaced the resistors?

Why did you replace the resistors?

Did you check the bulbs? Did you check the 7.5 amp fuse for the dash lights?

To be honest I went on youtube and saw that other people had the same problem. I did check all fuses. But the info I found on youtube was correct my resistors had burned through and had to be resolder or replaced. I did learn this everytime I turn my lights on the lights on my radio go deem. That's leds me to beleive that my Dimmer Healight switch needs replacing
