Interior/Exterior Driving lamps installed - BUT DON'T WORK!?!

Driving lamps installed - BUT DON'T WORK!?!
I installed my MINI driving lamps last night, following the directions exactly (except the fuse box and ground bolt in the hood). I went to try them and they don't work. The switch doesn't even arm.
Completely dead...
I'm not sure I put the two black ground wires on the right bolt in the hood. It's a bolt on the driver side that has a wire from the hood connected to it. Not sure if that is a ground bolt or not.
BC1 connection and radio connections are all fine, and the lights are wired correctly so I have no idea where else to look!
Help please!

If aftermarket, you should be able to tap the lead to one of the
switched fuses and be able to turn it on even without the highbeams.
It sounds like you don't have power going to the switch to power the
relay.

The switch lights up when the interior lights are on. I didn't take mine the the dealer to have it programed. Their has to be something hooked up wrong. Are you sure you connected the wire that goes over to the passager footwell to the right color wire. I would retrace all the wire one more time. check all the colors and connections again. It would be a shame to get this far and have to take it to the dealer.
