No dash illumination after installing an aftermarket Kenwood

[SoundMan2010]

Hello all, I'm having some issues I just installed a Kenwood KDC-MP345U head unit into a 1994 Ford Explorer XLT with the premium audio system (not JBL though). I got the metra wiring harness, bypassed the amp and did all that fun stuff, the stereo works great, However my dash lights no longer work, there's the cables that Metra lists as being the illumination and dimmer (orange, Orange/White respectively) but I don't no where to connect them to the kenwood as it's only got 3 wires left, 2 for antenna power and one for mute. there's also an orange/black cable, a blue, and a blue/white left. If anyone knows how I can get those lights functioning again I'd really appreciate it since without those lights it's all but undrivable at night.
