Are instrument lights working?

I can't seem to get instrument lights to consistently work. Generator on, cockpit lights off, RPM 2550 in-flight, and the instrument light rheostat appears to do nothing. During low-light conditions it appears the instruments have radium or something causing them to glow a bit, as they will glow even when starting cold and dark, but the rehostat itself still appears to do nothing.

So,,, anything on this matter? Im not talking about popping any fuses, Im talking about its function in general? Manual doesnt appear to cover this function? Just trying to figure out how to work the Guage Lighting.

I know that compass light works, and UV light for gauges both you need to crank rethostats on right electric panel in order to work.

Gauges emit own light so even when you turn off UV light, it will still be bright, should dim after some time.
