How about wiring the backlights to a switched live...sounds like you've wired them to a permanent live.

You can find this on the radio connectors.

Really you only want them to light up when your lights are on.

Depends on the type of gauges though, I suppose.

Get yourself one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6V-12V-24V...EAAOSwkNZUlTIE

Use it to find a live which is only live when lights are on, behind one of the switches is usual.
