Default Blinking dash lights : fuel and temp gauge

I noticed my dash lights would blink off and back on starting about a couple months ago. Recently, this has been occurring more often. The last time I cranked her up, it happened about 4 or 5 times in the first 5 minutes of idling. What could be the problem? Any ideas?

1995 SE
JDM swap- (approx. 20k miles)

thanks,
brad

Taking it out this weekend & bringing it to a buddy whos an electrical engineer, Ill take pics of how it goes and keep u updated (there isnt any a fix to find on the www!)

I did try and replace a capacitor on the board that was suspect, but it only functioned ok for bout a week.................

check the wiring going to/from the dimmer control unit on the right hand side of the dash. mine kinda flickers occasionally also, but only when i have the headlights on.
