LED Puddle/Mirror lights
Hey everyone,
I just bought my 2011 FX4 EcoBoost last weekend and I already have a list of things that I am wanting to do.
One of the first things is to convert all the lights to LED. I am having a problem finding the lights that are under the mirrors though. I have looked everywhere and I cant find anything.
Has anyone replaced these?
Thanks for the help,
Joey D.

I am also interested on this, last week I pulled the puddle light housing out to see if it uses a wedge type bulb (194) and to my surprise, It was a sealed unit! Hopefully someone has done this and made a good write up.
Everything I have read on here talks about cutting the housing apart and replacing the festoon bulb within the housing. This is the only bulb I have not replaced with hi powered led's thus far due to the cutting. Would love someone to provide a plug and play unit for purchasing.
There are a couple of postings on here that go over the cutting.
Regards,
Jeff

Instead of using the stock puddle lamps, use the black plastic plug that comes in the non-lamp mirrors and mount a LED lamp on or in the plug, then snap the plug back in the bottom of the mirror.

I replaced them in my '08 with a LED cluster. I cut up the back of the original light and mounted the cluster to shine through the stock lense. It looked great and worked really well.
I plan on doing the same to my '11, hopefully this week. I'll post some pics when I'm done with it along with a quick write up of what to do.
