    Check out posts on this site regarding the 2825 bulb upgrade for the dash lights. Also if they don't adjust with the dimmer you probably have a bad headlight switch.

    There are 2 flashers on the car one for the emergency flashers and the other for the turn signals you probably swapped the wrong one.

    Yep, I bet you swapped the emergency flasher. The turnsignal flasher is on the back of the insturment cluster.

    Our Mav had the same problem with the signals when we got it.

    Also a very good chance your charging system has low output.
