Default Can't install JDM fogs!

I have only been able to remove the a/c ***** and the gold screws. Other than that I can't seem to remove the rest of the console. Also Overboost's install link is NOT working or is down and I need a complete set of instrctions. Even in the Tech section, one of the installs is for the tc, and the other link is also broken. I had an electrical shop make a harness for the switch- however they used several different colors so I will need to figure out what wire is made for the ones provided in the car already.

I just need 1 good reliable install write-up for the switch and how to remove all the panels etc.....I have searched and really have come up with close to nothing. Everyone is saying to do this or that and im simply lost.

UPDATE: I tried following the updated way of wiring the swtich to it can be turned on/off whenever.....IT DID NOT WORK, I blew the fuse to my stereo and had to get that replaced. I THEN went to Joe at WetWorks garage and had him take a look at this and help me figure out why...he used his volt meters and gadgets and still could not also get the lights to turn on. He could find power and was able to illuminate one of his own switches, but even then he still could NOT get the foglights themselves to turn on with that different switch. I need a REAL write up, or someone local who has done this before to tell me how they did fix this...or else im just going to sell this damn thing and give up.

YAH doesnt seem too hard....first you have ____ty blurry photos mainly of a finger in focus instead of the actual image. Then there is the broken link syndrome which is what our tech section is facing on the install assistance (and should be taken down or the link fixed)...and finally the electrical guru's who of course will say ''its easy''...if its your job, of course its easy. Im not an electrican, and even a professional this afternoon WITH the tools to help find power/ground lines could not get it.

thats my venting on "it not seeming too hard"...thanks for listening. Now any help on this from other members in the area?
