Default No Dash lights after installing Sony stereo in 1999 Civic

I installed a new Sony stereo. The Crutchfield guy said to cap off the dimmer wires since I don't need them with this stereo. Now my dash lights don't work. All the fuses are good and all my other lights are working.

So I opened it back up and connected the dimmer and illumination wires and it immediately blows my fuse (instrument lights).

Anyone have any idea?
