Hello - take a look at the link below to an earlier thread where this is discussed. Hope this helps you a bit.

Speedo dies when headlights switched on?

Did this happen recently?

If not, it may be because the speedometer lightbulbs were plugged into the wrong holes in the gauge.

... I know cause it happened to me. My parking light indicator was plugged into the speedometer light hole so it turned on when parking lights were on, but off when headlights are on.
