It looks like you should take a look at the dimmer module.

That would be the dimmer switch its self next to the headlight switch correct ?

Yes, I think the dimmer module is part of the headlight switch.

Well I put A used dimmer module in , and that fixed the radio light problem, now my fog light button dosen't light up.

guess they had alot of problems with these modules.
will buy a new 1 now !

also need a bulb for the headlight switch, thats a strange bulb !

My headlight illumination has been out for at least 8 or 9 years. That light is lit anytime the key is on, so the bulb burns out quickly. I can find it in the dark, so I don't worry about it. :
