Weird Dash Lights!
The same thing happened to me once on my '79 F-150. Each time the dash lights went out, I could hear a faint click under the dash. It drove me nuts! After tracing wires and testing with a test light, mine turned out to be a short. Water had gotten into and filled my driver side front marker light when it rained. I replaced it and have had no problem since.

Replace your headlight switch.

Weird Dash Lights!
Was it just your guage light going on and off? or was your other light like your heater control head lights too? Did you notice them coming on and off when you hit bumps in the road? My 78 had a similer problem, turned out to be the plastic housing the guages and lights mount to. It had gotten britle and started changing shape. Ford still had mine available, I replaced it and fixed my problem. But if all your lights are going out, check the headlight switch.
