That's usually caused by using the car's dimmer wire as the radio's ground. This is a common mistake that people make, because the wire shows ground until you turn on the parklights. Then it's positive, and shorts out through the deck.

Thanks for all your input, removed the radio today, found what looked like a spiders web behind it. Lights now work fine, will have to rewire the radio :wink: , may even treat it to a new one :!:
