You then have to repeat the styles for each grid line spec.:


Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, 
  GridLines -> {Map[
        Prepend[{{Dashing[{0.05, 0.05}], Yellow}}, #] &, {2, 5, 8}], 
      Map[Prepend[{{Dashing[{0.1, 0.1}], Green}}, #] &, {-.5, .5}]}, 
  Background -> GrayLevel[.9]]

-- or:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, 
  GridLines -> {Outer[Sequence, {2, 5, 8}, {{Dashing[{0.05, 0.05}],
Yellow}}, 
        1], Outer[Sequence, {-.5, .5}, {{Dashing[{0.1, 0.1}], Green}},
1]}, 
  Background -> GrayLevel[.9]]
