Are you sure your dimmer isn't just set to full brightness?

ok after further thought... to answer your question.... No you dont have to have the dimmer wire connected to a headunit for the dash lights to light up or dim. The dimmer wire will only dim what it is connected to... the headunit

something else is wrong with your system, check the fuses first, then pray that a fuse is burnt out, if not- then you blew the dimming bulbs

thanks for the help i will look into that

My guess is you shorted something out and messed up the BCM, body control module. It happened to me once on another G35 when messing with the wires that go into the headunit, accidentally shorted them. I hope thats not it though.

I may be wrong or maybe you tried this but doesn't the dimmer not work unless the headlights are on? Just a thought...
