It won't do dim dip as such but you can modify the wiring to make it work as follows "Posn" = Position of master lighting switch:
Posn O ign off all lights off
Posn 1 ign off side lights ON
Posn 2 ign off all lights off
Posn 0 ign on side lights only
Posn 1 ign on side lights only
Posn 2 ign on dipped headlights
The dashboard illumination can also be made to be on with the ignition switch, to get the above work involves cutting two wires from the master lighting switch. Change the front side light bulbs for a pair of high brightness LED's is about as good as you will get with a V70. I have done this to my V70 to avoid having the HIDs on all the time during the day, the theory being they will last longer as only turned on when needed - Mike
Edit to add the following from my earlier thread on this method:

Headlights are only switched ON when the Master light switch is set to ON, Sidelights will come on and off with the ignition switch and Sidelights are still available with the switch in the mid position should you want to leave the car with parking lights illuminated. NOTE when you flash the lights with the indicator stalk ONLY the HI beams will illuminate.
To enable dash lighting at all times lever out the Master lighting switch, locate pin 8 which should have a White and Black wire in it, cut this wire about 2" from the connector and tape up both ends, ALL your dash lights including switches and heater control panel will be illuminated at all times the ignition switch is on.
If you ever want to return the car to standard simply use "Choc-Block" to join the wires together - Mike
