I've got a 2002 S...my gauges go completely dark. The only time the needles are illuminated is when the headlight switch is turned on. The interior lighting powers on and shuts down in stages on mine. When the door handle microswitch is activated, all interior lights and the dash LCD screens come on. The door and map lights fade out pretty quick if no other action is taken. The dash LCDs go dark after another few minutes. The tiny leds in the interior door handles, as well as the backlighting for the frunk and trunk buttons stay on for a long time. I've never "waited those out," but when parked overnight they will eventually go out. To my knowledge, mine is functioning exactly as it should. Everything eventually shuts down.
I'd say since the needles on my gauges only activate in any state with the headlight switch...you should start there if it's a problem you want fixed.
