Default LED bulbs blowing fuses

Hey guys,

I bought some led bulbs to replace the ones in the tails (revers, turn, and stop). The turns flash quick (I have the resistors, I just need to install them). But when I put the tail/stop bulbs in...they just blow the fuse. Any idea why this might be happening? I was thinking maybe the wire pins on the bottom of the bulb need to be switched around because they are shorting out. I did this with my last car, but never had a problem like this. Does anyone have a diagram of how the socket is wired or any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Take the fuse out, install LEDs, put fuse back in, everything will be alright.
(This is how we installed them on my friend's old tC because he kept blowing the fuses.)

yeah.. the pins on the LED bulb are probably messed up.
