The front lights should not dim with the headlights on...the blackouts should be working too...
What did you do that got the fronts to stop being dim when the headlights went on?
When you are looking at the blackouts to see if they work, are you just looking at them in daylight with the lenses on or at night or looking with the lenses off? Reason I ask is they are very dim and in daylight impossible to see unless you put your face to the lens and block out any side light that might be getting in...they arent the easiest to see at night from much distance...with the lenses off, you will see the bulb easily anytime...
Lord send your Holy Ghost into our hearts and make the desire of our hearts Your Will.
