Behind the dash there are seven connectors, two on the left for the sunroof and cruise control and five on the right side for the lights and so on. I would start with making sure they are all connected, esp the five behind the center stack.

When you hooked up the stereo did it have a "Dimmer" wire? Double check your wiring and any thing you did.

Ive run into the same issue recently after doing my led cluster. There's some other people i know of with the same problem and no one has figured it out. My guess is that it may be an issue within the wire harness behind the dash.
