Thats i tricky one m8. Apart from a major electric problem check your battery. I know when mine was on the way out things kept dipping in power or stopping working for a while

Do you mean that all of the needles drop when you turn your lights on or do the lights behind the clocks turn off when you turn your lights from side lights to head lights.

If its the first then you have some sort of electrical problem maybe the lights behing the clocks shorting something out.

If its the second then it will be something to do with the dimmer wheel below the light switch, if this is broken then its easy to replace.
