HELP: Headlight switch triggering STARTER!!!

Do ANY dash dimmer controlled lamps work? Radio, shifter quadrant, etc?

The inst. lamps circuit, that is the dimmer control gets power from the tail/ park section of the light switch, so the tail fuse/ circuit must be working first

Wiggle the 'eck out of the dash dimmer control it might be dirty. Turn on the park llights, twist the dimmer to left. (bright). Now move to the fuse panel and look for the INST fuse which is on one end of the fuse panel. That fuse should now be "hot" on both ends. The dimmer control output feeds INTO that fuse, and then from the fuse to all dimmer controlled lamps on orange wiring
