OP sent me a video of his dash. I started digging deeper and found other posts as well! It's called chasing dash lights. I found a thread with this Youtube link;

I also Googled the issue using filling search string;

Looks like 2 possible issues, low chassis battery.
When ignition is first turned on the preheater on the CAT kicks in DROPPING chassis battery voltage resulting in the lights chasing. One user reported new chassis batteries cured the issue.
Another user pulled the connections on the back of the dash and cleaned using contact cleaner.
