I hooked mines up to the dome light unit....run wires up A pillar....under the front head liner...into same opening of rear view mirror/homelink...to the dome light.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply PHML.. I figured the problem out. I needed to run both pos and neg to the foot lights. I had the ground wire connected elsewhere..

Thanks guys..

They look pretty good.. the only thing is the mirrors are slightly off at the base (Guess its because they are made for the JDM model). Very hard to notice tho.. They still fold in ok. It was great dealing with Nigel (CL vendor). I would absolutly purchase from him again. Good guy..

Still waiting on the LEDs for all my 194s to match the 6000ks.. I hate dealing with ebay. Still havent recv'd them yet.

Thanks.. If you have any questions hit me up. The freakin' things dont even come with instructions. Crazy.
