ok so i have a aftermarket stereo and when i turn in my lights its turns off i have checked the wiring with haynes camaro book and also with the stereo to make sure. the memory is wiped every start if that helps but when the lights are off every thing works fine i have ran out of ideas other then running new wire.

You've got the stereo ground connected to the brown wire instead of the black wire. That brown wire shows a ground with a multimeter, but gets +12 volts when you put your lights on.

Move your ground to the black wire, or run your own ground to a good spot on the firewall or kick panel area.
