LED lights under running boards

[Stanford1621]

my 2018 has power deployed running boards, did ford offer an option of led’s mounted under the body to illuminate the running boards while deployed? What about the navigator? The courtesy light that is under the side mirrors are pretty useless, I could make my own, but if ford already makes the kit I would just rather purchase that. Thnx.

Aftermarket LED puddle lamps are like 10x brighter

When you open the door it blocks the light, they only light up what’s in front of the door.

I know what you mean... You need interior and puddle LEDs.

Good ones aren't just whiter they're brighter and throw A LOT further. Everything around gets lit up just fine, you'll never step in a gutter or onto dogsh!t again

Running board lights and other underbody lighting isn't done stock because it's a truck and it wouldn't survive common uses for long..., but puddle and interior lights suck just because, it's a Ford thing

Upgrading the puddle lights is amazing. Here's the thread about it; my before-and-after pics are in Post #15.

The puddle light on the Navigator is quite functional and lights up a real big Lincoln insignia on the ground and the running boards have LED’s that shine only on yer running boards.

I thought the navi had leds on the running boards. You may be able to find the part number for em and attach to your expy. Man i shoulda got the nav

That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear, I’ll take a look at the navi’s Part diagram and see if I can adapt it.

Artie could you post a pic? Would love to what the Navi has

Yes, as soon as it gets dark I’ll try to snap a picture.

Here what my Navigator has, it’s in my garage with the lights on so it’s not as bright as it would look outside in the dark.

The running board light is Lincoln Part No 13707 but it’s only listed as part of the whole running board assembly.

I wonder if: a) you could buy it individually; and b) if it would attach to a plebeian Expedition.
