Instrument illumination comes on when headlight switch is off and ignition switch is on, and goes off when headlight switch is on.
Anyone seen this before?
Diagnostic suggestions?

Dimmer roller perhaps?

The pod lights are always on bright - they go on low when the lights are on... the low is variable based on the dimmer - if the dimmer is out (or if there are any other problems with that circuit) the pod lights will simply go out when the lights go on... as in your case.

I sprayed some WD40 on my S4's dimmer wheel and rolled it back and forth several times. Some pieces of corrosion fell out and the switch has worked perfectly ever since.

I can guarantee the headlight relay has absolutely nothing to do with this issue... (don't go there). The pod lights are related to the marker lights - nothing else.
