My dash lights and overhead light are very dim (on my '84 BII), even when the headlight knob is turned to maximum. Turning the knob will turn them on or off, but they will not brighten. I replaced all the bulbs with new LED's and the problem is the same.

Is this a problem with the reostat on the headlight switch, or could this be something else?

Yeah, sounds like the rheostat is shot.
