Default Im installing halogen headlights and need help

I was given these headlights for Christmas http://www.carid.com/1999-ford-f-150...s-4071608.html and ive run into trouble trying to install them.

My problem is, when I tried to wire the led running lights into the existing running lights it blew the fuse.

I dont know which wires are for what. They did not come with instuctions and I cant find any online. If anyone knows how to do it or knows of a post that shows how, I would greatly appreciate it.

There are two red wires, a blue one, and a black one.

the best thing to do is put them back in the box and return them if you can.
They will leak, have horrible light output, LED's burn out, Halos burn out.

If you insist on keeping them, make sure to keep your current lights.
I know there was a thread here a while back about how to wire them up.

Yup. Trash lights. Seriously. I don't know anyone on the forum or in real life who has purchased them and wanted to keep them after a while. Please. Just listen to us. We know what we are talking about. Poor figment. Poor light output. And led life and halo life is horrible.
