Welcome Light and Puddle Light upgrade?

1. I am kinda disappointed with the mirror-mountain puddle lights on my 22 RDX Advance. They are not very bright at all. Has anyone seen upgraded ones for sale that are brighter?

2. The puddle lights on the bottoms of the doors are REALLY dim. It seems like when people install the projectors they are brighter. Is that true? Seems like it's a 5-minute job to pop these out and replace them. If so I think i will but....has anyone seem just "brighter" versions without the logo projector?

yes
they pop out and you can swap with the ebay/amazon ones that arent very crisp BUT $15-20$

or the oem brighter accessory ones with the acura logo for about $120

takes 2 seconds to install


the under car lights are a little more involved to trim and mount, both are usually the first mods of the facebook we love lights crowd lol

you can buy the ones where you can insert your own logo and just not insert it and should be a brighter led

they are enclosed units that plugs in the lower door harness

I actually just found this review for one of the projectors on Amazon. This guy claims buy 194 LED replacements and put them in the standard lights. I'm gonna try that!

For the mirror-mounted puddle lights, might not find direct replacements that are brighter, but could look at https://www.carlightslogo.com/ aftermarket LED options that are designed to be brighter. As for the door puddle lights, it’s true that many of the projector lights people install tend to be brighter, even without the logo. It should be able to find simple LED replacements that are brighter than stock, and it’s typically a quick job to swap them out.
