Could someone shed some light on my wiring quandary?

I have an SL/E interior light with map lights and trying to hook it up into my SL VH Wagon. I have two wires coming out of the roof, one has 12V + the other seems to be negative - ... The light assembly is missing one terminal from the centre globe holder however the map lights are intact. I hooked 12V to orange + and I assumed the switches just switch to earth through the light base screwed into the roof.

But when I hook it up, the lights blow the fuse. I think it worked properly at one stage and then it just blows the fuse when I move the wither of the switches.

Does anyone have ideas? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Eventually fixed the problem. I bought a new light base, there was something dodgy with the original one.
