dash lights out

I know this is just a small problem but i was wondering if any body else has had this problem. on my last truck a 2004 f150 a few months after i hooked my edge tuner into the OBD port my backlight for my odomoter went out. now with my 2006 f250 a few months after i hooked up the scan gauge my backlight for the fuel and oil pressure went out. I can still see the needle at night just not the refrence marks. This has never hurt me just annoying. has anybody else had this happen and is there an easy fix?

when all of your instrument lights go out its a default all mfgs put in there to tell you your tail lights are out.

one or two coinciding with OBD connections now that's perplexing

It really wouldn't have anything to do with plugging in the Edge. Just bulbs going out.
