Kind of an unusual failure...usually the contacts where the bulbs mate to the foil are the culprits...the foil wears badly. Also, as you know, the cluster is lit whenever the ignition is on, not just when the headlights are on. I would consider rewiring the cluster so it is lit only when the headlights or parking lights are on.
However you choose to repair the failure (and replacing the cluster or hardwiring the bulbs is certainly an option) you might consider using a six-LED replacement bulb. Several months ago I put them in in place of the stock bulbs that had bubbled and blistered my cluster (Didn't replace the cluster) and after a few minutes of finagling managed to get a tight contact and they've been lit ever since. Brighter and whiter too!
