I still use the stock gauges (upgrading the gauges is on my to do list). When I turn the lights on all the gauges stop working. when I turn them off back to normal. My solution so far has been to not use the lights, and since I race during the day that's been fine. I'd rather things actually worked as they should. I'm gonna try to chase the problem down this evening any tips on what would cause this problem would be appreciated.

I think the ground for some of those is the one under the brake booster. I had one problem or another that came down to that.
