Iregular neutral light and high beam light

Hey there,
I have been met with an issue on my 06 Baby Varadero.
The neutral and high beam lights are blinking seemingly randomly, it usually lights up fine after i add gas (Vibrations?). Mostly experienced this with the neutral light.
The signal from the neutral switch must be getting fine to the computer, since i had no problems with starting even with the clutch released and the neutral light off. (and yes it indeed was in neutral.)
I took apart the instrument cluster, only note worthy thing is that the contacts between the PCB and the light holders seemed scraped.
Any ideas what to check next or how should i proceed about the scraped contacts?
Happy riding,
-Dan
And It's broken. Again...

Take a multimeter put the bike on center stand and rev it, the voltage should be stable if it goes into the 14V range its propably a stabilizer issue. If you have halogens in the dash i suggest switching to LEDs they are T10 bulbs just make sure they are non-canbus LEDs, also check if the lights wont flash id you apply pressure on the bulbs fiddle with them, if nothing works its either the bulbs are dying, or faulty voltage stabilizer. Got the manual posted if you want to troubleshoot, even has the diagram.

I should also note that you should connect the multimeter to a place like the front bulb connectors for example as the battery will read stable voltage anyways.
