No dash lights. HELP

I recently put in an aftermarket stereo. The next day while the radio was playing I saw smoke start to come from under dash. I quickly stop and disconnect radio but could smell the burned wire. Since that day a couple of lights are lit on dash and the few that are when flip my head light switch on everything goes dead in the dashboard. The headlights come and everything else works except the lights on the entire dash. Please help me figure this problem out. I’ve all the fuses and nothing seems to be blown. I haven’t found anything that appears burnt.

Not to sure but to me it sounds like something is wired wrong and shorted something.... May want to pull off dash to find it so it doesn't cause a fire or more problems.

I second that. I would pull the radio and look at all the wires to find the source of the smell.
might have shorted something out affecting dash lights
