the dash lights are on the same circuit as the tail lights

A lot of cars are wired that way. I think it's a safety feature because it's difficult to know when your tail lights don't work but it's impossible to miss the dash lights

Yup. Like if one of your blinkers is blinking faster than the other, you likely have a bulb out on the side of the fast blinker. Brilliant engineering.
