I'm interpreting this to mean that you want to wire the panel lights on your new radio to the variable intensity dash lights. If you read through this thread, it should help you figure out how to do that ...

If what you meant instead was to get power to the radio that is switched with the ignition, then this is the easiest solution ...

Over on the drivers side, under the kick panel, where the plug from your door plugs in. Look in that pack of wires for the orange wire with the grey stripe, if I remember right.
