Finally I picked up a pair of oem Puddle Lamps, and retrofit them with 31mm 6-chip Samsung Led festoons!

Instead of running the wires from the puddle lamps into the CabSide of the Mirror Wire Harness... I ran the Negative to the rear facing Blinkers! Then I ran the + wire into the miiror side of the Connector(to the Purple Wire on cab side of harness), and hot glued it into place! I also, took out the Reflector as you can see in my 2nd pic to make more room for the led festoon!

I was really surprised with how EZ this mod was(other than waiting 28 hrs for the RTV to Dry), and the Amount of Light these small Leds put out...

I used Clear RTV, to keep them looking clean. As well as, I left them Clamped together for a total of 28 hrs to let the RTV fully cure. I even put a dab of RTV on the interior side of the puddle access hole to keep out Unwanted Moisture...

Don't know why anyone would spend close to $100 for someone else to do this Very EZ mod. for them!!!

Heres a few pics...:thumbup:

Looks really good! I'm looking to do something like this as well. It's the only light I haven't made into an LED. Lol

Thanks Robert, I've been wanting to do them Forever!:censored: Just couldn't justify a pair from any Ford dealer on ebay was around $55 shipped, for about $2 worth of Plastic!!!

So, I waited till a reasonably price pair became available! :) Glad I waited, and very Happy with my results...

did your truck not come with the puddle lights? mine already has it, just need to switch from the yellow to 5k.

they look great - where did you find the wires?


my 2014 xlt does not have puddle lamps and I didn't see any wires in there when I added the led reflector mod


thanks
