What do you mean by dimmer adjustments? The actual adjustment knob? Or they're not dimming when you turn the lights on...As to the heater lights not coming on, make sure your knob is not set to OFF. Set it to the thick line just below ON, or one of the lines below that.

Does any of the other instrument panel lighting work? I could see it if everything was out. But if things like the A/C switch, recirculate, hazard, rear defrost, inverter switch, etc are still lit while the HVAC control is not, that's just bizarre.You may want to crawl under the dash and check the 'TAIL' fuse in the fuse block. It is used for the instrument panel lighting, among several other things.

It does sound like a fuse.. try checking as Colonel said, and take a look at the other fuses to make sure nothing is loose, beyond that, take it to the dealer..
