Default I don't know what I've done

I've have an 01 honda accord and I've just recently installed a new radio with a 600w amp and two 15' subs. After I installed them I noticed when I turned on my lights, my dash no longer lights up and I've lost my back running lights. The brake lights light up when I press the brake but I have no running lights. What do I do?

Replace the interior fuse located under-the-hood fuse box that you've blown. But first, you must locate the ground though cause it'll just keep blowing fuses.

First place to look is behind the radio. What wires did you leave exposed?

first question to ask is if you used a wiring harness for your specific vehicle?

ive seen it a hundred times, all accords 98 and newer you have to supply your own ground wire to the aftermarket radio, the ground for the harness puts the grounds into the dash light dimmer so it grounds out through the lights, find a new place to ground the radio, change the fuse and it should be fixed
