Default Brake help Chevy Silverado SS

I installed earl's steel braided lines in front last night, and changed by rotors and pads all around. When changing the lines, I lost a lot of fluid and refilled this morning. However, now I am getting a service brake light and the brake pedal has no resistance. The new lines do not appear to be leaking and I was careful not to disturb the abs sensors. Am I missing something when refilling the fluid? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the rear lines sent with the earls kit did not have a square banjo head and did not appear to be the right ones. Should the rear lines have a square banjo head like the fronts?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks. Just realized why it wasn't working. Need to bleed them all. But on the lines, the stock had square banjo heads, so I am guessing the replacements should also. Anyone have the earl's lines for this vehicle.
