Default temp and oil pressure gauge freeze when lights are on

Hey everybody, when I have my marker lights and or headlights on, my temp gauge and oil pressure gauge do not move and they are "stuck" in the middlle of the markers. However, the amps gauge works just fine and I haven't driven it enough at night to see if the fuel gauge does the same. Any possible electrical issue that could be making this stuff act eratic like this? Who else has had this problem? This is my third Fox and the first time this has happened.

My first guess would be a short in the dimmer switch.
