Interior Light Trouble

Ok, I got flex led lights.Alpena 24" flex lights. I took them out of the box . They had a battery pack attached.(for when you see what they look like in the store. So I cut the battery pack off and all the wires going to it. Then I just had 2 light strips with the wires coming off of them. So I put the one light through the dash to the passenger side and the other on the driver side. I then stripped the wires from both of the lights and twisted them to together. And put the wires in the Accesory part of the switch. Then I used a wire and connected it to a fuse and used that as my power source. And for the ground I just used one wire and it went from the switch to a screw on the car body.
Then I went to turn the lights on (the car was on) and the lights wouldn't Turn on. And on top of that the car battery was dead.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the problem?
