for those with puddle lights

I was just curious as to which LEDs you used for your puddle lights.....is it these from oznium.com, http://www.oznium.com/led-modules
Also how did you connect them and is there a DIY? Thanks!

I got my puddle lights off of e bay...mistake. They ended up being very poor quality and I spent over 4 hours fixing them up, before anything goes on my car it needs to be perfect, remember, most times you get what you pay for.

Mine are wired to my dome lighting and they are recessed up into my sideskirts, measure twice, cut once if you do them this way. I used all of the DIY's already posted here by other members and that is where I got all my knowledge and ideas from. That dome wire light is a bitch to find too

Do a search for puddle lights in the TL and TSX forum, there are a TON of threads, all have useful info.

Good Luck!

^ I agree...to a point. I am not a fan of undercar lighting but like I said since mine are wired to the dome lights they only come on/off with the key fob or when a door is opened. I did not even put them on a a switch cause I would never drive around with them on, not my style.

Wouldn't you want them to turn on prior to opening a door? But if they come on with your dome lights, you should be straight. Because Dome if you have the switch set to turn on when you unlock, they activate. Otherwise I wouldn't see the puddles
