Default Ej8 Backlit gauges flicker, and shut off...

Bought a civic it came with a cluster with the white backlit indiglo gauges.
Not a big fan but swapping them out is not a priority right now.
the problem is, they flicker as I drive like there is a bad connection and occasionally just shut off all together.

Ive played around with the wires to the dimmer.
Haven't tried jumping it yet, although its the got the switch to change from grn/blu and a rheostat for dimming, so I wasnt sure about just jumping it.
How are these things wired up? if I had a better Idea of whats involved in installing them Id be able to resolder any connections and make sure its not just a open or bad connection.

any pointers would be helpful or if anyone has any experience with these things Id appreciate it.
