Default gauge lights come on after ten minutes of driving

bought a hatch from a guy last week

this guy had stupid indiglo gauges installed and he wired them to the fusebox
he removed the two large bulbs that illuminate the gauges

when you turn headlights on the indiglo come on (from fuse box)
but not the heater control lights

then after about ten minutes of driving they magically come on?
WTF

I took dash apart nothing looked loose or chopped
maybe the dimmer is going bad?

any ideas?

So what do the indiglo have to do with it? Replace the bulbs.
