wiring problem!?!?

hi guys, well i got my new addition home today, 1984 f150 I6 3 spd OD, and i had some spare time so i put my system in it. i used the 2 wire that were there for the factory radio. it works but only with the headlights off. i realized this when i went to go to the store after finishing with the headlights off the radio works but when i turn them on the radio goes off. any ideas?

The blue/red striped wire is the Radio Light.

The black wire (with the plastic torpedo thing on it) beside it should be the keyed power wire.
