I assume you are referring to the panel lights. No, not normal.

Did the panel lights come back on when you went back to low beams?

The panel light switch takes them from dim to bright. Maybe a little finagling between dim to bright will get you on a sweet spot where lights out can be avoided.

Others more knowledgeable should chime in soon with perhaps a fix.

I looked at the service manual and see no reason why putting putting the headlights on bright would cause the instrument panel to go off.

It's not normal and happens to me on occasion. What I have found is that the fog light switch on the console was my culprit. I turn the brights on and then I switch the fog light button off and on in quick succession and then it starts to work as it should. Probably a contact issue.
