someone please tell me whats wrong?!

my 2 indiglo auto meter gauges are haveing problems and i need help, i notice sometimes the indiglo just shuts off but the gauges will still be reading fine.
when catch them shut off it looks like the indigo dims down fast (like it ran out of power) even sometimes just one shuts off. when they shut off i try turning the light off and on to see if that helps and when i turn them on the indiglos flickers once really low but dont turn on, and to get the indiglos back on i have to turn the lights off for a bit. is this happening because of a wireing problem?? or do they gauges just suck or something?? oh and they are new i just installed them a week ago, they never started doing this till now. whats wrong with them?????i need help on this one.

have you tried trouble shooting? might be a good place to start then come back with the results and ask questions then. power supply and grounds would be a good place to start.
