Re: dash lights wtf
You have miswired the HU, probably "back-feeding" 12V+ to the illumination lead.
Did you use a harness adapter, or is the new HU "hard-wired" to stock radio harness?
What is the MM&Y of the car?
what is the make/model of HU? 94

Re: dash lights wtf
Pull the HU and check the red lead, [illumination ground from DLBC switch] and the red/black, [illumination power] the red should not be used at all and should be capped off, the red/black should be used only if the HU has an illumination input, if not it should also be capped off. 94
