ive tried every thing, even just putting the wire straight into the fuse box, the only result i got out of that was a blown fuse.

If that happened you've got a short somewhere. The factory plug is behind the passenger side kick panel.

Here's the diagram for an 88. Your 95 should be similiar.
One wire is connected to ground and the other wire goes to the Headlight
switch so when the Headlight switch is in the Head or Park position, 12 volts is applied to the cab lights.

on most they have to be grounded on the lights to the metal with screws directly to the metal. at least on aftermarket lights. there is a wire behind the drivers side kick panel it will have a female terminal. if you use a spade blade you will have to grind or file it down a little. this was my experince on a 88 f-250.
