Hey John,
Question for you, my front under door panels won't come on period...would you know what would cause that?
Also, I have four cylinder type bulbs left...where do those go? I put one in the trunk, another under the pass and driver foot area but have these four left?

did u try flipping the bulb the other way around? Try wiggling the connection and make sure there's electrical contact?
The tube LEDs are the following locations:
Window Visors - 2
Trunk - 2 (bottom and top)
Footwells - 2
Glove compartment - 1

As far as the HID fogs are concerned, I see you connecting the ballast but how and WHERE did you secure it after connecting? did you just let it rest on the inside of the plastic shield? Also, I'm concerned about error messages, have there been any reported?

driver side- from where the bottom corner screws the wheel well, drill a small hole about an inch up. on the last hole of the bracket, bend the tab to the left. make sure to position the bracket on the right side of the ballast with the wires facing the front of the car. match the hole with the bracket and zip tie it there.
passenger side- match up the last hole on the bracket to the existing bottom corner hole and screw there. its not a perfect match so you have to work holding the position. also, i positioned the bracket with the wires facing the driver side and the ballast sitting away from the drain hole.
i will try to get pics when i get a chance...
