Do all the gauges go out or just a single one?

Have you wired anything in recently that may cause this. It sounds like something is getting hot and tripping a breaker.

Could be the dimmer switch. It's separate from the headlight switch

You can check it by using a digital volt/ohm meter.Make sure you have good 12 volts going into the switch.If so, turn the switch on/ off and check voltage at the other side.It should increase and decrease as you move the
switch. Also check connections going into back of switch..could even be a broken or loose connection/.

Is this problem since the dealer did the work? If so, I would def be looking at that.
