I just install 4 bulbs on mine AE, running fine without any error message. But when i tap to the foot light, it won't come on and the interior lights ( foot and dome ) wont' come on too. What the hell ?
I changed new diode but still the same.
Help

According to WDS these are the interesting pin numbers we need:

Pin 2: Eyebrows (Left and right ones are connected to the same wire on pre-lci cars)
Pin 40: Right Angel Eye (Pre-LCI)
Pin 25: Left Angel Eye (Pre-LCI)

Pin 3: Left License plate light
Pin 49: Right License plate light

Pin 64: Left Tail Light
Pin 10: Right Tail Light

Pin 23: Rear Left Fog Light ---- You can wire a 12v to 5v ebay stepdown converter in between to make rear fogs light the same as when they are position lights.
Pin 67: Rear Right Fog Light /

Pins are numbered by rows in the light module white connector, but if you remove the white housing of the connector, they are all numbered individually.
By now this thread is really old, but I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the useful info in this thread, and special thanks to the OP for trying this in the first place. In addition, RoberMC's suggestion works great! (I didn't do the rear fog lights though) BUT with the information being so old and all, it's hard to verify what works and what doesn't without being able to access the WDS myself. I did it his way the other day so I don't have wires snaking all over the car. All of my wires stayed in the footwell, but there's a catch...

My issue may be unique since I have the pre-LCI halogen setup with 4 bulbs for the angel eyes. Contrast that with the projectors that use a single bulb per side. The pins labeled here only light up the outer angel eyes for me.

Can someone with the proper computer setup access the WDS to find which pins on the LM light up the inner rings? Much appreciated, and it would help out anyone else with the same setup.
