Exclamation Just installed an aftermarket radio, now there are no lights inside. HELP!

Hi all, Newbie to the Forum. I have a 2003 Kia Sedona EX. I just changed out the OEM CD player with a Dual DVD Player. Everything seemed fine until tonight when I tried driving at night. When I turn on the lights, the cluster and the lights for the controls (HVAC, Cruise button, RTR Heater, etc.) are not turning on. I've checked the instrument panel light potentiometer and that doesn't do anything. I used a Metra wiring harness.

I installed a Dual 8180 DVD player. There were two illumination wires that I did not hook on to the headunit, since they did not have a matching connection on the head unit. Should I have connected those? Labelled: Illumination and Dimmer. If I need to connect these two, which wire on the head unit should I connect it to? Thank you all in advance.

Okay, I did some troubleshooting and found out I was blowing the 10A Illumination circuit. I checked the wiring for what is shorting it out and found that I connected the "remote"/power antenna so something that is not a power antenna connection, but a yellow and black wire. That according to the KIA tech diagram is the 10A illumination, it is a little late 2am here in California, so I will have to wait till later today to buy some 10A fuses to check my theory. Which makes sense if it is connected to the remote signal wire on the radio, it is likely to blow the fuse.
