You have wired it to the lighting circuit, find a ignition live to goto instead (head unit or cigar lighter for example) or drive with your side lights on full time

I have Motor Meter smoked gauges fitted and they are easily visible day and night, so can only assume yours are of a lower watt. Mine are a little bright at night, but not enough to dazzle or distact
