changed the tail gate motor then... ummmm smoke?

Long story short we thought my trunk pull down motor was faulty as there was power goin to it but the motor no longer pulled the hatch down. So i bought a new motor and installed it. Upon hooking up my battery i noticed smoke coming from the trunk light so i am not sure whats goin on if the bulb is getting bad or if its a wiring problem as even after the motor replacement the hatch motor still isn't working.
