Question 2006 Mustang V6 Cabin light failure?

whenever i turn on my headlights all the lights inside the car dim almost all the way off including all the gauges and raidio, as if the car does not have enough batter power. I am wondering if this i some crappy wiring or battery thing by ford, or a seperate problem.

I dont want to make this sound mean or anything... but are you sure the dial to set the gague lighting is turned all the way up (or to your likness)? I know when i get the pony washed they always F with that thing. If it is (and i'm assuming that you have checked that) maybe test the alternator. Once the car is on you usually are running off the Alt. Might check the battery while you're at to make sure it can still hold charge. If all those are fine then it just may be bad wiring and time for a drive to the ford dealer.
