So my panel lights dont work with i turn on the headlights but work when the headlights are off i checked the fuses and i get power to the dimmer switch so im thinking maybe the dimmer is bad.

Does sound like the dimmer switch.Hook a volt meter up to the out-put and see what you got. Voltage should go up and down as you adjust the switch.
As it turns out I have an extra dimmer laying around. If It turns out thats the problem your welcome to it.

Hello!
I have got the exact same problem with my evo now, did the "new" dimmer solve the problem?
