I have a 93 prelude and while I'm driving with the lights on sometimes when I go to brighten them they go completly out and i have to turn the hazard lights on and they sometimes come on, if not i just fool around diming and brightening and turning on and off untill they come back on. Please help me if you know the answer. Emial me Lozer_103@yahoo.com

Sounds like a problem with the dimmer switch.

How would I fix it?

Replace the dimmer switch.

Also, check into the multifunction switch (the lever with your headlight/blinker controls).

Which 1 is the dimmer switch? Is it the multifunction switch? I'm sorry I don't know much at all about cars. I know the lever thing has the blinkers and the headlights on it, should I just go ahead spend the money to get a hole new column with a new lever thing on it and just put it in with all new wirew just in case theres a short? Or could it possibly be a fuse? So many questions and so little knowledge about cars.

The dimmer switch is the little switch you use to dim the dash lights... Not much more to it than that.

You don't need a whole new column, that's just asinine. A new Multifunction switch (yes, the lever thing with the blinkers and headlight switch) at the most. It's not a wiring short, probably a bad contact.
