Default On Board Computer lights

Has anyone experienced this problem? My light on the onboard computer (boost gage) works fine when the headlights are off. When I turn the headlights on the computer gauge lights appear to flicker, getting brighter then dimmer constantly fluctuating with no pattern. Are the lights on the computer supposed to be adjustable? When I turn the potentiometer on the dash the remaining gauge lights dim and get brighter accordingly. The computer lights do whatever they please.

Any input?

It sounds like a bad connection.

Any suggestions, which connection? I checked the connector on the back of the gauge, it appears to be OK.

You might have a grounding problem. Check your ground cable.
