Have you earthed your negative wires from the LED's?
If you want them to always be on (when the power is on) earth them to anything metal on your car.
But for an extra something you can do what I did...earth them to the door sensors so they only come on when you open the doors.

I have mine set up like you want yourse. Cant remember hoe i did it.

Think there is a black wire on the passanger
B PILLAR then the other wire goes to a always live power.

Dont know why your lights dont work. Unless wiring is wrong.

check for faulty connections and that the leds are not broken, also check that the earth is on thick enough metal, that sometimes is the cause. My underglow didn't turn on at the front due to a bad earth.
