Here is a link for the dimmer. Just click on the "Dome Light Dimmer" tab on the left hand side of the page. Looks like $40 will get you what you want. Remember google is your friend! :thumbsup

If you were referring to the effect where the lights slowly fade out, that's done with a capacitor, I believe. I saw an article on how to do it, but I don't remember where so you're going to have to google it.

The Rear Side Marker, Rear License Plate, Ashtray, Rear Roof Rail (reading lamps), Instrument cluster, and Warning/Indicator lamps all use the same basic type of bulb. These are a T3-1/4 Wedge Base bulb, which is about 0.4" (10.3mm) in diameter and 0.81" (20.6mm) in overall length. There are several bulbs which meet this specification, and as such are interchangeable:
Trade No. / Design / Volts / Watts / Amps / Avg. CP / Life
161 / 14.0 / 2.66 / 0.19 / 1 / 4000
158 / 14.0 / 3.36 / 0.24 / 2 / 3000
194 / 14.0 / 3.78 / 0.27 / 2 / 2500
192 / 14.0 / 4.62 / 0.33 / 3 / 2000
168 / 14.0 / 4.90 / 0.35 / 3 / 1500
To get brighter go with either the 192 or 168 bulbs.
