i was thinking of using double sided tape to stick them together and then also using the tape to attach them to the lower grill. i am also not sure if i am going to have to buy some wire cuz the one thats on the LEDs seems kinda short. BTW where did you attach yours to? i was thinking on hooking mine up with either the parking lights or the regular low beams. if i do it with the parking lights do you think the LEDs are going to blink when i turn the turn signals on? hehe kinda weird

I super glued one on top of the other and then immediately connected the wires together so there would be less confusion with wiring later on. I drilled small holes in the lower fog grilles and ran a thin black wire through it and around the LEDs to pull them close to the fogs; not permanently attached incase I pick up some fogs later on.
There's a bolt on the drivers side that I used as the ground. Make sure you use a larger gauge wire for the ground than for the power. As for connecting them, I wanted mine totally independent so they are connected to my broken sunroof power wire. I have a switch near my steering wheel to turn them on and off.
To get past the firewall, I ran the wires through the ECU box (I think it's the ECU), and down through the stock hole behind/underneath it. Just take off your fuse box cover and you'll see where what I mean--hardest part.
I'm really not sure about the parking lights and turn signals question. It may cause them to blink, and it sounds easier than routing to the cabin like I did. I would ground them first and test it.
