check the pins in the back of the dash that contact the new gauges make sure they are all making contact. sometimes you have to bend the tangs out a little so they make better contact......sounds like a grounding issue to me.....make sure the printed circuit doesn't have any cuts or breaks in it either that is another common problem.

recheck that wiring from when you switched the wires around in the plug
