Radio Cassette Display Lights

Hi
My original Radio Cassette Display Lights turn off when I turn on the Headlights.
Is this normal ?
Everything else seems to work fine interior lights cigarette lighter etc
Its very annoying when driving at night.
Thanks

No, that is not normal. But I'm afraid, I don't know how to fix it. :?

most radio/cassette/CD players switch to dimmer mode when the headlights come on, maybe yours has blown a globe??

how to get into it & check are not things I'm familiar with either, sorry. :|
