Easyest way to find out is, disconect earth wire from battery, with ignition switched off, connect a 12v test light between earth terminal & earth wire, if light lights up, then you have a power leak.

To find the problem start with the lights that you have just installed, disconnect them and see if the light goes out, if not then do the same with the radio, then start pulling the fuses out one by one untill the light goes out, when light goes out, then you have found the source of the problem.

Good luck.
