did you check your fuses buddy? and uhhh, your clock is supposed to get dimmer when you turn on your headlights... because if you turn on the headlights, it's supposed to be DARK outside therefore you wouldnt notice the clock being very dim.

Once upon a time, i was fixing my friends stereo in his car, while he was driving. All of a sudden, POOF! All the interior lights went off. The end.

I blew a bunch of fuses. It's the fuses man.

Fuse #40 40amp Light Fuse (underhood)
Fuse #19 10amp Taillight, InstrumentLigh, License light (underdash)
Fuse #03 7.5amp Interior Light (underdash)

That should be all the ones that affect the lights on the dash.
