Is power for the fuel gauge being pulled from the same fuse/circut as the lights? If so check for a short in the wire leading to the fuel sending unit, or disconnect it from circut and check for overheating at fuse. You may also be experiencing voltage fluctuation with lights on that is effecting fuel gauge. Suggest isolating the lighting with a relay on separate circut so amprege for light circut is not directed through switch itself. Electrical gremlins are difficult to isolate. Take it one step at a time. Be sure wire size (gage) is sufficient for load being carried too. 16 is ok for lights from relay to lamps themselves.
