Question:
I know the 2 12 LED panel lights are for the dome lights (I assume I ignore the extra stuff that doesn't apply to my car

, I see what looks like tube shaped things with what looks like springs inside and things that looks like resistors, a lil help?

)
I believe the 2 tube LEDs are for the vanity lights, the tube and smaller tube LEDs are for glove box and trunk, and the 4 tiny ones are for the rear footwell lighting.

However, I also see 4 WHITE multi LED 194/168 bulbs, and 4 GREY spotlight looking 194/168 bulbs that look like they have one LED facing out. Which go in the map lights, and which go in the front footwells?

Anyone who installed this kit that can help me with where each and every one goes would be greatly appreciated

The 4 grey with single LED on the top are for the map lights. The other 4 go in the Footwells (2) and under the (2) doors (puddle lights). The Puddle lights are the same as the footwell leds.

Ace man, thought they were for the maps. Thanks! What is that other stuff in with the 12 LED PANEL lights for the domes anyway? ** EDIT I notice now since I opened the package that those are different ways of connecting the 12 LED panels, depending on your car I see. I see I will use the wedge shaped 192/168 adaptor, and plug the wire into the 12 LED light kit. Now I'll just have to figure out how this double sided tape mount thing works when I get my car back tonite

Thanks for the help

The double-sided tape sticks over the opening where the dome light bulb used to be. The wires get tucked up under the 12 lcd panel. I ended up getting single led dome lights like the map lights because the 12 lcd panels were just too bright for me.

Haha, I'm starting to lean that way too man..still using the 12 panels for now- waiting for them to go off on me like the last kit before I go for a set of 192/168s like Derrick suggested. I don't see where the double sided tape would stick however- the area above the dome light panel is not flat. I just gently wedged it and centered it as best I could- it rests on the dome light lens cover now and seems to be staying put.

I think the double sided tape is too tuck the wires and maybe it sticks to the sides a little. I had HELL getting the front dome un-clipped until I found that you could do it from the windshield side...then it was easy..

I broke my trunk piece...damnit..now I have to figure out how to get another one..

Chas, the dome lights were too bright?!?!? I think they're perfect and awesome...actually only part really worth it (and the trunk light is bright) I think...

I'm curious to see if you have the same problem I had at first with the lights not turning on with the key in...and then work the next day........I hope it goes that way for you so I know I'm (or my car) not crazy...lol

Gizmo, yeah, the 12 led panel was just too much for my taste. You're right about the tape sticking along the edge of the panel to the dome light socket area. You may want to look at the trunk light led fixture replacement. I think it's by weisslicht and available from jlevisw.com replaces the whole thing and is very bright!
