but now when I turn my headlights on the instrument panel goes dim, under daytime running lights the dash is illuminated, very odd and can't find anything in the owners manual.

That's the normal behavior for the instrument panel lighting - Full bright with headlights off and dimmed, per the knob, with headlights on.

I'll figure out this Toyota eventually. Thanks again.

Your Yaris has daytime running lights?

yes 09, found it was just the dimmer switch turned off, for some reason the dimmer switch dims the dash only when the headlihts are on.

My '07 & 2 '09s have normal headlights that you have to turn on, no DRLs. (Thankfully!) Must be a state law thing.
