I can has puddle lights?
Long story short, I found a set of puddle lights at Pepboys or somewhere when I was borrowing a 2 claw puller for my friends Subaru's wheel bearing job.
I always wanted one, but the ones I saw (at least back in Japan) were like 80bucks, at least. These were 10bucks!! So I said, eff it, I'll be a ricer. And LEDs are LEDs.
Well, 2 months later, I'm bored. So I was cleaning my garage tonight and found the ricer puddle light...
Completely forgot about it, got excited like I found a 20 dollar bill in my winter coat.
started splicing wires and after about 20mins, I got it hooked up.

tada!
I wired them to one of the lights so it fades when I lock the door and turn on when I unlock it. Not bad for 10 bucks.
I tried mounting them with painters tape to see how it looks but it shines straight down...gotta find something that'll give it more angle.

yeah, you can't beat 10bucks. i tapped underneath the passenger side foot light thing. I tried the drivers side but the cord has no play and it was easier to take off the passenger side cover.
go for it
Mine's not as low as yours but I can't fit a coke can anymore
. I think I'm gonna try mounting them a little angled between the oem side skirts and pinch point since it has a nice indentation there. .
sorry, no links to the product. I'll post videos again once I mount them.
