puddle lights on the 2nd gen Xb
 

i just got done putting on puddle lights....used 40 LEDs on each side...lights up when i open the doors! fades in and out just like the interior lights.

wow those are bright!

but still not bright enough to see during the day....barely noticeable during the day. I am satisfied with the way they came out......i didn't do the spots because people would say that i bit off BRABUS....so i just did a strip of LEDs...

I wouldn't really call those puddle lights then. More along the lines of neon. And Brabus aren't the originators of puddle lights so no whoever told you that was wrong.

i never said that they were the originators just that they marketed the puddle lights and everyone...or most people recognize it as BRABUS...that was all..

for some reason the nightime pics look alot brighter than they actually are......

please post how you mounted them. Im in the process of desiging how to mount my setup. Just looking for other ways.
thanks

Now all we need is a way to mount those on the bumper to get rid of that ____ty reverse light ha ha.

and then connected it to the lead to the door light switch...very simple..took me about 30 minutes for the wiring.

just doublestick tape...? easy enough I guess.

just clean the surface with acetone and windex and the 3m take will never come off!

pretty slick. one of the mods on my to do list. if you turn on your dome light whole driving will they turn on? that would bother the hell out of me.

no i did not wire it up like a mexican car.....just on when you open and close the door....also, when you disarm the car

nice! mind telling me how you did it?

if you take your lower dashboard panel apart...and look up towards the A pillar on the driver's side...you will see a thin 3 lined power lead to the dome lights....tap into the center line which is the line that fades in and out...the negative you can ground to the chassis.....as far as getting the power wire to the leds...i am sure that you saw the pics and will be able to figure out how to get the wire through the chassis.

wow looks very nice!

very easy to do and makes people notice at night!!
