Unplug the new radio and see if they work, then check for continuity on each side of the rheostat with a multimeter have the rheostat set on full brightness, the radio could have the dim lights wire or illumintion wire plugged in wrong, i know my the head unit i put in my HG specifically said not to have the dim signal wire connected to a variable power source such as variable dash lights. If the rheostat is fine check for power into it , if ok you might have to pull out the instruments and see if there is power to the lights wire.
