Read your gauge instillation instructions for this info. You can find this on line by checking the manufacturers instructions.

There was a year of production that Backdraft installed their own gauges. There were issues so the Speedo and Tach on the cars we delivered received a matching Autometer style gauge in those places. These gauges had LEDs instead of bulbs and might be the reason the grounding was not an issue, since you are reporting the issue is when the lights are on.
