It started a day ago. All of the lights of my dashboard and my radio go off when my headlights are on, but come back when the headlights are off. Whats wrong?

Check your dash dimmer control and see if it is turned all the way down.

They are usually right near the headlamp switch if that is on the dash. If the headlamp switch is on the column, the dash light control will be on the dash.
