Tom, if you're handy you can disassemble and repair the dimmer.  It's
just a bad contact somewhere, the element is not going to burn
out.  Doing this was the very first repair I ever made on a Vanagon,
having driven my sister's (later to be mine) in Scotland for about
three days.  I did it on their kitchen table with only their basic
handyman tools (a screwdriver, I imagine).

Yours,
