After thinking about it more, I must have jumped the two connectors in the lamp housing, I really need to solder the ends to each of the contacts that touch the end of the bulb. Those brass strips are really close together and it must have shorted and thats what blew the fuse. Do you think it matters which side is positive and negative, black and red wire that the led strip uses??

Thanks for the diagram, that helps as well. Appreciate it!!
