Lol.

I'd suggest taking it somewhere and letting someone professional do it before you fry your car, lol.

There are wire guides that come with cd players, and if not that url should do the trick. I've never heard of hooking up the dimmer to the headlights, did you do that and now the headlights don't work?

unless your hooking up a stock deck the dimmer wire shouldnt be connected to anything.
the dimmer wire was there to dim the lights on the stock deck with the lights in the gauges. most aftermaket decks do not have this feature.
so just tape up the end of the dimmer wire and leave it back there.
Just my $.02
