Default Puddle lights?

Has anyone in the burbs have puddle lights installed by a shop? I know I could do it myself but it's the time that I don't have. Anyone know of any shops that have done these installs? Thanks in advance!

Tony

Aren't they lights that are installed on the bottom of your door? Illuminates the ground at night when you open your door?

It's under-glow neon lighting for a new generation. In a couple of years, we'll be thinking "what were we thinking" like we do now with underglow neon.

BTW, anyone notice that black out lights are coming back into vogue? I remember back in the mid to late 90's, everyone was rocking black out GTO light covers. Then in a quick reversal, people wanted clear lights and Altezza lights. Now it looks like we're going back to black-outs....a la ChitwnGS43 (Steve).

I think my next car, after I get rid of the Integra, will be a late 60's low-rider. I want to bring the low-rider back!!

Puddle likes look ricey to me. Next gen of fast and the furious Neon if you ask me. The lights that are factory on cars that are under the mirrors to actually illuminate the floor is pretty nice though.
