A common problem with them would be the dimmer control on the headlight switch. Make sure you have power coming out of the switch on the blue/red wire. Also you can pull the fuse for the instrument lights and make sure you have power on one of the fuse terminals with the headlight switch pulled out.

Dash light problem
I have the same thing going on. Checked all my fuses, OK. Also lost on head light warning for when you turn truck off and pull key. The dimmer switch you speak of dims the dash lights, also turns on overhead lights?
Thanks,
