Console lighting problem

[zephyr47]

Car is Renaultsport Clio 182 2005
When the sidelights and dipped lights are turned on the Central Console lights, except the middle section cd/radio lights, go off.
When the sidelights and dipped lights are turned off again all the Central Console lights come back on.
Any ideas?

I know its obvious, but .... Have you checked the illumintation dial on the dash to the right of the steering wheel?

(Its like a wheel that can rotate up/down)

Thanks for the suggestion.
I rotated the wheel up and down once and that cured the problem.
I still don't understand why only the upper and lower lights on the central console were originally affected as wheel affects both the console lights and the instrument panel lights simultaneously.
