Default LED Tail lights

I just recently purchased a pair of LED tail lights for my 05 Silverado. After installing them I noticed they were not working. I trouble shooted and found that I had blown about 4 different fuses. I put new fuses in and tried the new lights again. I got the same problem. The same 4 fuses were blown again. Is there anyone who can help with this issue???

Sounds to me like you have a dead short. Do they work at all or do they blow the fuse immediately?Might wanna check your wiring unless the taillights were direct-connect.

The lights are a direct plug and play. Thier was no direct wiring involved other than just plugging them in. The hazzard lights worked just fine, but I had no parking lights or break lights. Matter of fact, as soon as I would hit the brake or check the parking lights it would blow a fuse immediatley. I appreciate the help on this. Any help would be great.
