It sounds like the oil lamp is being earthed with the main beam WL.

I think the main beam warning light is switched ground.

You would have to remove the cluster, check the tracks on it to ensure there is no physical connection between the main beam WL and the oil lamp.

Issues like these are typically always age related, with poor earthing.
