I have doubts that the bulbs are the direct cause of the fuse blowing problem.
The reason being is that the headlights on your model have their own circuit out of the alternator, that is why you they only light when the engine is running. They do not interact with the other D.C. circuitry of the blown fuse in any way.
However, the contacts in the key switch turns the headlights on and off. My guess is that you could have a flaky key switch and the fused circuit was getting crossed over to the headlight circuit and the bulbs were creating a low resistance path to ground.
Since it's running now and you don't need headlights it's a moot point, but something to keep in mind should the problem reappear.
