Maybe the illumination control unit is broken.
On US cars it's mounted to the right of the center console, to the left of the glove box.

havnt driven in the dark for a bit , but i do recall when i fitted my amp that i blew the fuse for the stereo, could this have caused the unit to give up?.

If you shorted one of the radio's illumination wires to one of the power rails, then maybe.

I don't have a part number handy but I can tell you that on US models it's a little black box with a 6-pin black connector plugged into it.
