Default Headlights on no interior lights? help

So I ran my car at the strip last night and noticed on my last run when I was heading in to the pits around 8pm, I popped my lights on and the headlamps came up but the radios light turned off but still worked and the instrument panels lights didn't come on but the TCS off light was still on.
Turned my headlights off and the radio lights came back on.
I checked out all my fuses and everything looks good anyone have ideas?

Stupid question but have you checked to see if the dimmer for the interior wasn't turned down?

Well what's funny is a few years back I had the same problem in my Saturn and I had it like that for like 7 months but I didn't even think about it in my trans am. I called the dealership and they quoted me $110 just for a diagnosis
