dye over highlights?

Hey
I posted a while back that I have had highlights but I really don't like them, I think they're far too light.. everyone else goes on about how they like it and so on.
I want to dye it an auburn/mahogany type shade ( which is what I originally wanted my highlights to be) my hair is naturally very dark brown and to me the highlights are very blonde in reality they are more of a dark honey/ caramel blonde..
Anyway my question, if I dye my hair will the highlighted parts take more color and be darker than the rest?

When deciding I wanted Highlights I thought it best to go the professional route and had her do it.
she did a good job as far as where she placed them, but it's not the color I want, she luckily, didn't use bleach ( which I'm not sure I understand
When doing it at home I always achieved the tone I want, besides I can shout and yell at my Mama when she's pulling snagging, I don't think I could do that in a salon..lol or they'd probably kick me out with half my head done..
You can use Color by Robert Craig to tone your highlights to the color you want. But I would choose a color a little lighter than you want, or don't leave it on as long so the highlights don't grab too much color. Also, if you are trying to get them much darker, you might need to use a light blonde to fill them. I can help you choose colors for that, if you go with RC.
3b/c/a mix. medium texture, low porosity

That means she used a permanent color with high lift (ammonia/peroxide).

Thanks, I don't know if we have Robert Craig in the UK, I've only ever heard US folks talk about it
What is a filler? I need to darken my hair from medium blonde- golden, to dark blonde. I have had highlights and lowlights but they are fading. I want to go more natural without all the stress and drying out that happens in salons and with perm. color. Any suggestions?
