Extend the time on puddle lights? 04 LS430
Hi guys, when I unlock the doors or walk up to the car with the smart key the puddle lights under the mirrors light up for about 15 seconds. My manual says light time can be extended and I want them to stay on for 30 seconds. I have access to the custom settings in techstream but couldnt find an obvious choice under the lighting settings as there are a few options. Dealer couldn't find any setting that extended to the puddle lights either just the interior light and interior footwell lights etc
Can it be done with the custom settings or maybe I dont have the option?

I found it myself! Its under light control, then foot light control (drivers side) options are 7.5 sec, 15 sec, 30 sec. I changed mine from 15 sec to 30 sec. At that time there were no other options just the drivers side but read on below....
I changed the setting from 15 to 30 secs but then what happened was that only the drivers side puddle light stayed on longer and the passenger side still went off after 15 secs.....GRRR, I wanted BOTH to stay on for 30 secs. At that time there was no visible settings for the passenger side light at all.
Then a miracle happened, after I changed the drivers side and exited out, when I went back into the menu settings again an extra option appeared for the passenger side woohoo! I changed that to 30 sec's also and now both puddle lights stay on for 30 secs. Yes!
Not even the dealer could work it out.
Very happy now!
