check for a blown fuse (fuse panel is located on the driver side dashboard, door will have to be open to get to it)

It is normal for the DTRL to dim when you turn on the headlights.

thinking back on it, if it was a blown fuse it wouldn't work at all. like it was said before, probably a bad ground or a loose wire
