Cab light wiring

Hey y’all,
I was in the process of installing some Kenway cab lights I bought from harbor freight onto my 86’ F-150. I followed steps as described in the instruction manual, except I wired the only wire to the factory cab light connector, just to blow a fuse. Fuse was replaced, and I added in the 4A fuse that came with the kit. Now they won’t turn on at all. Any ideas as to anything I’ve missed?

Wire a temp wire from the battery to the lights, just to make sure you do have power there. If they do not light, pull one of the lights and see if you have power at the light.
