Dashboard lights going out?

Balls. My dashboard lights are about to go out. They were completely out yesterday, but today they were very dim. Could this be a sign of a major problem or can I delay getting this fixed until I have enough money?

*All other lights work fine. The headlights (both low and high beam) and overhead lights inside of the car are both functioning properly.

**I have a 2003 Nissan Sentra

    You might keep hitting the switch on the left of your steering wheel that can dim or turn off those lights. Or that light is just going out... different parts of your car do indeed have different light bulbs. Kind of the same concept as the different lights in your house.

    do you have the wheel turned all the way up for dash lights, if you ahve that option, maybe that is shorting out. All my cars have some sort of wheel or something to dim them or make them brighter.

    You either bumped the rheostat switch dial or else the rheostat is going bad. Find it on the dash and turn it!
