your brake fluid is probably just low, try adding brake fluid and see if it helps, I'll be surprised if that is not the issue. you probably just bled your brakes too much while changing your pads.

brake fluid low would cause the brake light to come on, not the abs light, i suggest check
the wheel speed sensors since u did brakes on it, could be just dirty. as for air bag light there should be a connector under the dash u can use to flash the code out.

Like others have said for the brakes, fill up your fluid.
No idea what the ABS light would be all about unless something got snagged and isn't plugged in correctly. Did you do anything to your seats? Steering wheel? ANything you can remember?
