Can you take pics of the LED strips, i would love to see pics since no one put strips on.

 

fyi the monarch and elite (same) led puddle lights are **** .
I had my car almost burn down because of the crap connections in them.
I daily my car and it see real winter weather so that may have effected there life as well as some of the led's dieing in them so they blinked .

Only problem is no one else makes them that is easy to get but the others that are more expensive look much better . These are cheap led's and the kit should really only cost $30 for what you get.

 

There are really no good led puddle lights, I even brought the cheap kind where it states "waterproof" they aren't, connections are bad, and they get dirt in them. That why I am looking for a different alternative like LED strips.

 

How did your car almost burn down? it sounds a little exaggerated, did it even catch fire? I've never had any issues. But I agree the connections were crap, so I decided to cut off the connections and solder them together and use heat shrink tubes to secure the connections. The "waterproof" part i think refers to the light itself I believe, its gel coated to prevent water from getting in, the connections on the other hand are a different story. Flickering is usually due to loose connection. After about 4 months I've had one burn out and they replaced it for free for me. I've ran mine for over 2 years now and never had issues.

 

I had my car door open for 5 minutes while i was working on another car beside it , me and the owner started to smell smoke then see it inside his car and we were checking everything then come to realize it was from my car instead . So i ran over and raised ti and tried to trace it down thinking it was part of the harness over the wheel then something clicked it might be the lights so i disconnected it and it finally stopped. its too cold for me to waste time to find what went wrong since i will have to replace them i will wait until i get a new set first .

BC also does not use salt the way Toronto does for snow which will compound any wiring issues causing shorts .

The flickering is single led's inside the housing , so not the whole light was flickering , so it is an internal to the light issue that cannot be fixed or prevented.

They are just cheap led's which are worth maybe $2 a piece if that as they are only bright because they face the ground 2 inches away .

 

Don't we already have lights in the doors that shine downwards? Is that not enough?

 

ya but these look nice and not in a ricer kinda sense

 

More like UFO Space ship scene

 

here is my ebay led strip mounted to the door. good for $20 bucks

 

I perfer the strip over the individual puddle lights for its functionality

 

I am waiting on a shipment on these puddle lights and should get it real soon..

 

there a way to install those without cutting into the side skirts?

 

I have the Monarch puddles as well. You need to thread on the nut on the back side of something, so you kinda have to so they wont fall down.

 

Puddles FTW! I have them they look clean.

 

Kind of old thread l, but is there a write up ot link for installing the monarch puddle lights on a gs400?
