Good write up bro keep it up. Can't decide between the ones you got (Wle-xhp5) or the bhp5. I dont want some too much of a blue(dark) neither some too whitish(light) I'd say right in between maybe a 4 out of 5 though. Any suggestions?

The LEDs do not have polarity, correct? As in, you can reverse them and such, goes both ways? I know some LEDs are polarized, such as ones you would do gaming console mods with (cheap little Radioshack ones).

did you try to turn them 180 degrees again? they may have to be turned more. but you can check your fuses under the dash to see if aany blew

Did you run the wire that corrects underneath the passenger side of the dash to the slider correctly? This messed me up with my stereo because I ran it wrong so that even though I was sliding from side to side it wasn't moving the wire right.

I only have a 3rd gen.
But power is power.
They should turn on the moment you turn for the lights to go on.
Are the bulbs all turned in and snuggle, or can you move the bulb or the thing the bulb goes I to and twists to the housing? Also have you tried to twist the bulbs 180 degrees to see what happens?
