After getting some inspiration from NEAK on his thread...https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...=puddle+lights
I went ahead and purchased some from Sean @ http://www.ledmod.com

So...before I send the kit to Midnight Garage (Ross) for fresh paint. I decided to Dremel the holes and mock up the Puddle lights...

Here is a sneak peak on the process.












They sit so flush against the kit that you cant even tell they are there.








To Be Continued...

 

very nice

 

Dagnabit. Everyone's beating me to the rad stuff.

 

sweet ! that the same thing i did with my Varads..

 

Nice install, thinking I may do the same. I noticed that the 1/2" hole looked a little out of round. If you're using normal twist drill bits, that will do it. I find that using a stepped bit gives a very nice hole without the usual three direction chatter that a twist bit makes. A stepped bit is almost all rim, with two cutting surfaces, so the bit doesn't have a chance to wander in the hole.

 

schweeeet. you gave me a new idea

 

Dang, everyone is stepping up their game! Hey Digon, do you think it's possible to do this mod with the sideskirts STILL on the car? And, where does the wire come "into" the car? Where do you tap the wires?

 

Are you just using the Super Bright 5mm leds?

 

nice! you're braver than i am. there's no way i'm drilling into my side skirts.

 

nice! i have a set too just make sure you run the wires nice and neatly dont want them catching air or getting yanked out accidentally

 

Yes, you are correct. I tried to get it as neatly as possible. The good thing is that once the puddle lights are in you don't even see the hole, I'll upload some more detailed shot when I get home.


I don't recommend that, but Im sure you can you would just need to be very careful and definitely have the car jacked up. There is a small cap that seals the outer element from the cabin, it can easily be popped out, Im honestly not there yet but ill post updates as I move on with the process. Stay tuned though lOl



Yeah for sure this was just a mock up. Thanks for the advise.



Thanks for the compliments everyone. I cant wait until everything is put back together after paint.

 

Hey Mike, did you remove your sideskirts or just left them on? Removing the double sided tape is such a huge PIA...

 

did mines with the side skirt on the car. to get that hole round use a hole saw. way faster.

 

i gave the job to Limitless.. i think its possible so long as the car is up and you can fit underneath with a drill. i would think its possible to do with it on the car albiet a little difficult if you cant get the car high enough

also be sure you line it all up if not it might look weird.

 

You drove 10 hours to Vegas to get puddle lights installed?

 

Here are some detail shots...

 

autozone or online?

 

....I got them from Sean @ LEDMOD.com, I don't think he has uploaded them on his site yet, soon to come though.

 

Exact same ones I'd like to go with. Looks good!!!

 

Flush mount looks clean
