Assuming its a aftermarket HU. Did it have a Dimmer wire? What did you do with it? You have to have done something wrong with the wiring to the illumination wire.

Yea the HU works fine and the lights are still on whether the headlights are on or off. its just the light on the cluster in front of the steering wheel that goes off.

I would say the illumination dimmer wire is hooked up to something wrong.
