I thought I had one light go out, but it was just a loose spade terminal. Another member sent me these!35c4370955e812387a6642bb3f8638a2.jpg

I recently got a set too and these suckers are beaming!!!
My only issue is they seem to flicker off instead of dim like the halogens. Though my understanding this is an issue in how LEDs are powered and why with most LED bulbs have a dimmable and nondimmable version with the dimmable costing more due to the extra circuitry.

I'm sorry I didn't see the age restrictions on the package. I will certainly change them back to factory, so as to meet your approval.

I like them better than the dumb emblems on the steering wheel, do you know where they come from ?

Just looked at other thread, the member said aliexpress? Also that they came from China, that's all I know.

I’m the one who bought the aliexpress ones. They began to flicker within 4 months and aren’t working now. I’d pass.

Your not the same user that sent them to me. Have you replaced them yet? I'm wondering if your connections are just poor? That's what was wrong with mine in the 1st place. I did think it was odd that a 2017 would burn a bulb, when I've never had to mess with my 05 Suburbans. But yeah all 4 of the spade terminals were loose on my Ford puddle lights.

Mine are aftermarket LED. The connections are absolutely tight because I twisted, soldered, and marine shrink wrapped them. No plugs...so yeah the LED circuit is going bad.

So then your logo lights are different than mine, as they are plug and play. So I'm not sure where they came from, but there are several on eBay.

With spades, squish em with pliers then wrap them off with electrical tape so they don't short....

the Ford OEM puddles had spade plugs instead of loose wires, so the connectors couldnt touch

Isn't a John Deere XUV a 'Gator'? NAV is the is the Lincoln Navigator.

No, NAV is your car dealer's half-assed excuse if you catch him trying to pad MSRP with a couple grand
