Replace the headlights.  Not expensive - about $10 each.  Easy to
install/remove - 10 minute job, or less even...

The dash light is a long-life bulb.  Normally when the dash light is
out, it's a fuse.  However I have seen them burn out, so that's a
possibility. Replacing the light is not easy, as you usually have to
remove the entire guague assembly bezel and fascia.  Well, it's easy,
but very time consuming.  Check the fuse first, it's the most likely
culprit...
