Sounds to me like you wired one side of the light to the ignition
and the other side to the light switch (I.E> no ground)

When the ignition is on and lights off, the meter light is 
getting grounded through all the other lights.  With lights on,
ignition off the reverse is true; Light switch provides power,
ignition switch (through other wiring) provides ground.
Both on puts b+ on both sides of light hence no current, no light.

	Good luck.     ihnp4!cbnap!tel
