Before things getting overly Technical off the top of my head I dont Know if they are connected by other than by a possible common ground & fuse. I would start is the interior light switch off on the headlight switch? if yes with key on test each door & hatch switch. if you feel that there is a ground problem you can install a second ground on anttenna since thats were all the work was done.

I am tending to lean toward the hatch switch has over adjusted, put some firm pressure over rear hatch latch for a minute and see if the lights go out.

Are you sure you don't have the headlight switch in the "interior lights" position?
