Sounds like a possible earth related issue to me.

I would say check how your pilar gauges are wired.
Has this started to happen when the gauges were installed?

There aren't that many earth points tbh.
Though I'm wondering if you've got a faulty light switch, as it seems odd that it's both light related.
