[Spridgets] Electrical issues

I am having a problem with the turn signal indicator on the Holy sprite.
Once we figured out the headlamp switch didn't work fully, we replaced it.
The Holy Sprite is running a MKII Sprite wire harness and the dash turn 
signal indicator is wired thru the head lamp switch.
This is unique to a MKII Sprite as I have run into this before. Why they 
changed it from the simple MKI set up, I'll never know.
But I have a good clean headlamp switch, the indicator works fine until 
it's dark outside.
Well as soon as you turn on the parking lights, the dash indicator stops 
working. Lights off, it works fine when the turn signals are on.
It is wired as per the book.
Or do MKII Sprites not have a turn indicator when the light switch is on?
The signals work fine but the dash light only works when the head light 
switch is OFF.
Better yet, anybody know how to bypass this ridiculous set up?
