Default Break Job done, now I have issues?

So I changed my front and back break pads and rotors with premium stuff. Now I have two problems:

1. I have a yellow break warning light that stays on. Does not flash or make a beeping noise. My fluid levels are fine and my connections look fine. I did not change the fluid at all while changing the breaks.

2. The breaks feel really light. I can push the pedal past the gas pedal with little effort. I pump the breaks many times and this does not help, still feels very light. No leaks, and my calipers appear to be in good shape.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

1. What is the symbol in the warning brake light? Did you do the wear sensors?

2. You have air in the system. You need to not only bleed but completely change the fluid with DOT4+ every 24 months.

How familiar are you with braking systems? Seems, at first glance, not very.... you might want to check a lot of things and do some reading.
