how much did your LED puddle lamps cost?
I found these, but seem expensive:

$46. Way better than amazon ones

So I’m trying a slightly different path that I might regret, and if I do I’ll just drop the dough and buy the bright trax that Jski and Andy are using. They look amazing. But I found these which I’m sure are not as bright but much cheaper. I bought the pair on sale from AliExpress for $5.57 out the door total for the pair with the $4 coupon for new accounts.

Link to the AliExpress listing? I've spent $6 to be disappointed on far more insignificant things.

Dammit, these look too good...ordered a set. But still waiting on the body shop to finish the Expy.

Question, does the fade in/out work well? I've had interior LEDs that flicker when the BCM fades them on and off.
The LEDs that I have installed on the interior ramp down just like the incandescents do. I bought mine as a kit from a guy on eBay. If you want the link I can look it up.

I promised to post my results when my Chinese LED puddle lights came in. They arrived today packed fairly well. I removed the original incandescent housings. The LED replacements had spades that fit perfectly with the female ends on the mirror wiring. I added some heat shrink tubing to protect the bare connectors, and I know some have had a slightly loose fit on these so I used a small pencil torch to carefully heat the plastic at the base of the expansion/friction latch and spread it open a tad bit more. I let it cool, and installed the lights and now they snap in nice and tight. The lumen count appears much brighter than stock.
They fade fine with the interior lights (cheaper LED’s like this fade in sort of a stair step fashion). For $5 after my rebate, I’m extremely satisfied. Time will tell how long they last. Please excuse the messy garage. It’s not mine, I’m at a friends house. [emoji15]
