More likely than not you have grounded out the dash light lead. Look in the fuse block under the hood. After you replace the fuse unplug the stereo and see which wire gets 12 volts when you put the headlights on. Insolate that wire.

There is no such thing as free installation!

Sounds like you've grounded the dimmer wire. Check your wiring in the back for an orange with purple wire, I believe? Could be grounding that out.
