I wonder if you may be running too many lights on the same circuit. are they wired in series and what size fuse are you using? By the way vilex nice job on the install, it looks killer.

leds dont use much power at all. ive had 12 foot of leds wired up to a tiny 5 or 10amp fuse and it never blew. i also had about 6 dual 12inch cold cathodes also on the fuse.

if they are not prewired leds then the metal tabs might be touching each other making a direct short.... easiest thing to do would be get one set of leds and cut the power or ground wire off that end and if the other lights work... ur shorts in that section... if it still blows the fuse then its in the leds that are still wired up... alittle cuting and testing and youll be able to find the problem spot easy enough.
