Problem solved.
I determined the problem isn't my wiring since my stock bulb still works. After replacing the bulb, i noticed that one of the pins on the LED literally falls out. They are held in place with glue apparently, and I'm assuming they're wasn't enough glue.
Ive sent and email to Js2k, requesting a replacement seeing as they've only been on my car 15 days...

I had a similar problem when i first put them in, i just turned the bulb around and plugged it in again and they worked. Theyre picky about which way its plugged in.
did you try using your oem bulbs to see if it's really the socket thats bad?

Yes. In fact I currently use OEM bulb on one side and led js2k on the other side. Haha. It at least shows how great and bright the led is in a comparison. The throw distance is incredible.

I hope it's as simple as that. I swear I've tried three different LED bulbs from js2k on my passenger side, and it just doesnt seem to work. I've also had some problems with the other js2k bulbs not maintaining a constant connection (my trunk bulb for example). I assume my subwoofer isn't helping.

I found with those LED bulbs and the js2k bulbs the contacts on the ends of the bulbs sometimes need to be bent out a bit. Also with LED bulbs they only work in one direction hence the name light emitting diode. I have the js2k led's on my license plate bulbs and before i installed it i bent out the contacts a bit and they work fine.

You also wouldn't happen to know if the front parking lights j sells fit for ap1 lights? Cause he only has them shown on ap2s
