Did you replace the fuse and disconnect the wiring you installed?

You didn't give much to go on and also a picture of your fuse box area with the way you tapped into the fuse might help.

Is there a fuse box under the hood? If so that's where the ignitions fuses will be.

There is a fuse box in the passenger footwell and under the hood.
OP, disconnect your added wires...then look for your blown fuse.

Reconsider how you have the plow lights wired before trying to tie them to the truck again.
