DAYTIME BrightLites Puddle Lights

[GAINMOB]

You can simply just change the halogen bulb to led and not spend the money of buying these... if u don't have any puddle lights then ok... that's all I did in my turn signals... enture truck actually... switched to 100% led light bulbs

the 17s have sealed assemblies and aren't designed to have the bulbs changed like the earlier versions. You could go and cut the lenses off and try to retro fit an led. These assemblies are $71 each from dealer and you can get pair of the LED ones from BrightLites for $60 with shipping. These have a round LED disk inside which spreads the light and and throws a lot more than a regular LED bulb will do. I know because I changed out the Puddle lamp bulbs in my old 05 with LED and they were brighter but not as bright as these. Look at the comparison pictures a couple of posts up. Big difference.

Andy you are correct on my 07 I looked into it and I could not replace the bulb it was an entire independent assembly that just had plugs on the end and was sealed.

In a sense if you have the right tools, you can probably take it apart and modify it and put it back together. It might be fun, but for $60 delivered with these results It made a lot of sense just to buy them. The only way you can make anything you modify this bright, would involve looking looking for and finding the round LED disk they use in these.

I posted the link to these in the other thread, but had never actually purchased them. Thanks for being the guinea pig Andy, I'm doing to get them now!

Thanks for posting them Bloodhound. They were a great find. I am really enjoying the light from them. I may order a pair for my Wife's 2017 Escape.

Wrong you can definitely take them apart it has one of those festoon type bulbs inside...

Nope. Wrong. Fake news. False. Unless your truck has aftermarket knock off lights. My OEMs were sealed units.
