check your wiring from the dimmer switch to the fuse panel for any breakage

Somewhere in that wiring there is a cut and it is ground itself or touching some other wires. In lamins (sp) terms, your wires are shorting out. Like 13SEC CIV said, check the wires from the fues box to the dimmer switch for any breakage or cuts in the insulation and tape them up.

THe bulbs are fine, its the wiring.
