I scored some 4 bulb 48" T12 fixtures for my 24x32 garage from craigslist. I had 6 of them surface mounted and they all worked fine. Last weekend I added 8 more and recess mounted them all. I tested them before hanging them. Now that they are all up, they are not all lighting up. I have a mix of new and used bulbs. But they all worked when I tested the fixtures. Do T12s need to be wired in any specific order? Do all the bulbs need to be the same (other than being for 34w ballasts)?

Sounds like you have some loose wires at the tombstones. Putting the fixtures up could have loosened some connections. Have you tried moving some lamps around to fixtures that are not working to see if they start to work?
