Dash lights dim when I turn headlights on

Dash and the multi function display sometimes dim/flicker when I turn the lights on. When I turn the lights off, the dash brightens up to normal.

Happens randomly; I can't seem to do it at will. Any thoughts? Battery is like 6 months old, no other issues....Thanks fellas.

Does the dimming lessen when you rev her up?

projektvertx No, it does not. I pressed the brightness + button down until it beeped once and the issue seems to have gone away. The dash is at full brightness and looks great but it does seem too bright sometimes. I may bring down the brightness level a little and see if the issue returns but I don't feel like messing with it now.
