radio only works when headlights are on Sign In

I have a 1999 hyundai elantra. I installed an aftermarket cd player and now my dash lights do not work and the interior light and cd player only work when the headlights are on. Please help

Somehow you have tapped your power wire into your headlight power supply in accessories. Your dash lights don't work because you either cut the wire by accident or bypassed the power supply to them from the headlight wire. What you need to do is go to your manual and have a look at your accessories wiring harness. Go back and undo what you did. Tap your power wire into something that has accessory power. You will need constant power supply for your memory wire, so tap that into you brake light wiring or hazard light wiring. Read your manual to find our where these wires are for your saftey. or come back and I will find you a wiring diagram.
