Ok so can anyone tell me which festoon bulbs these are? My lenses separated easily so I am merely replacing the bulbs and recementing the lenses. I also need to know what size festoon bulb is in the cargo area.

That looks good. I'm really happy with mine. At night it floods the ground with light.

You'll get better results replacing the entire unit with the DAYTIME Brightlites. You will not find anything that you can retrofit that is that bright.

I’ve been going back and forth on putting these in. Were they just pop out and throw the new ones in? Molded connectors? My worry is since my truck is all halogen that it would look too white when my headlights and interiors come on when i unlock it. Maybe if i switched to whiter interior lights it would blend in better. Nice rig your running there, i do like the rims.

They only come on when you unlock the door or open the door and the idea is to light up the area around the truck. That way it keeps away bad guys because they don't want more light. I think they would fine on your truck but you might like them too much and want to start changing everything over to LEDs.

Im pretty sure based on the name the idea is to help you avoid stepping into puddles mud n dogshit when curb parking ...

Took me all of 5 minutes to install. Flat head screwdriver to depress the tab on OEM and gently pry outward on housing, DC the two connections, pop the new one back in. Here’s what the connectors on the new ones look like
They just slide right on. I wrapped some electrical tape around them as well. And that push tab on the new ones is a lot more sturdy than the old OEM one. I would definitely switch to LED interior ($12 on amazon for a decent set) I did not like the look of puddle lights as halogen with all my other lights LED as shown below:

Much cleaner look with interior LEDs and these new puddle lights

Cool, thanks for the pics because i agree after seeing how they conflict i should buy the interiors as well to make them all white.

Good interior lights are great (and cost pennies). Better visibility than in daylight.

Yup that one.

I got mine from eBay, they seem like good quality. A lot brighter I say. OEM ones look very China made.

IMO I think they shouldve just went ahead and had all the lights as LEDs seeing as how their competitors already do that

Yep I agree.

Now it’s time to get some LED headlights. Any recommendations?
