Most, if not all of those electrical items will be on the same fuse. Have you checked the fuse hasn't blown for the stereo, interior lights, hazzards, etc?

I suspect the 12v feed to the stereo from the headlight circuit (for the backlight display) is what's powering everything at the moment and turning down the dimmer reduces the voltage, thus why they then stop working.
