I have a similar problem, my lights come on for 30 odd seconds then just black out, I have a suspicion it's the fader switch at fault so I'm gonna swap it for the one out of my other T5. My ghetto fix was to blu tac a kitchen light to the side of the dash

hahahaha blu tac is bloody brilliant

and ive already checked the fuse for the instrument panel its the same one that runs the leccy sunroof and that works fine!!

Hi mate thought I'd update this quickly, swapping the dimmer control over completely fixed my dashboard light issues. Now I no longer need my ghetto kitchen light lol.
