When i go to start the car, the starter does not engage, (crank over).

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! We've got to get your rad ride back on the streets! Since the dash lights aren't dimming and the headlights are working, it suggests power is reaching those components, but the starter isn't receiving power to engage. At least that's a place to start. Check the connections to the starter motor, ensuring they're clean and tight. If they appear fine, the starter motor might need to be tested and/or replaced. Sometimes, lightly tapping the starter motor while someone tries to start the car can temporarily get it going if it's stuck. However, this is just a temporary fix. If tapping works, it confirms a problem with the starter motor. Otherwise, I recommend having a professional mechanic diagnose and repair the issue for a lasting solution. Good luck!
