sounds like an earthing issue. check the earths on the back of the rocker cover and give them a good clean and check for broken wires [ earths are brown or brown/white wires usually ]
also check other earths in engine bay and check wiring to ignition coil
check also wiring to head light switch, the dimmer on switch controls dash lights so maybe try a new switch

Thank you for getting back to me this afternoon. just to say thank you for helping me out.
it was the brown wire on the side off the engine head had broken off. now car and light and revs are all ok and my GTI is good again.
just like to say you are the Boss
Thank you.
