It may be the oil pressure sensor at fault.
It could also be a sticking oil pressure relief valve.
Before you start replacing expensive items like oil pumps, start with the easiest and cheapest first.
Presumably the engine oil level is ok? and it isn't overdue an oil/filter change?
Your car doesn't have an oil pressure gauge? Knowing what your oil pressure was would be of help. A workshop would be able to check your oil pressure using something similar to what you see in the link below:
***** in oil pressure tester
Check your oil level first.
If the car is due an oil/filter change - do it.
If changing the oil consider using an engine flush:

Then, try changing your oil pressure sensor. You should be able to pick one up at any car shop. It screws into the block and has an electrical connection.
The link below shows generic images of oil pressure sensors:

ok fuse and bulbs are ok then you have to start looking at switches there is a switch on the arm of the brake pedal, use a test light and make sure 12 volts is going through the switch then that voltage goes upto the multifunction switch in the stearing colum, this has your hazard lights, turn signals, and bright headlamp controls in it, check this by turning on the hazard lights see it the tail lights flash this uses the same wire as the brake light so if it lights you have a bad brake switch at the pedal, if nothing lights up 90% chance its the multi function switch

If all else is working ok, it may just be the fuse supplying the lights. If you confirm it is getting power, then it is possible there is a faulty chip within the binnacle (gauge unit) These can be repaired by specialists in this repair fairly cheaply.
