Plasti Dip Wheels + Puddle LED Install

Sport puddle lights

Anyone know what bulbs are used in the puddle lights under the mirrors of the sport? I was going to order some white leds when ordering my hids. I would pull them and check, but its pouring and cold out.

194 wedge I believe.

They are actually 31mm Festoon bulbs. I just installed mine tonight and they were a bit of a pain. Once I removed the assembly I had to take a dremel and cut the housing apart to get the lens off and get to the bulb to replace it. I then changed the bulbs and sealed the lenses back to the housing with silicone. They look awesome against the pearl white paint and match my hids and interior leds I just installed. This is a nice mod. Ill get some pics up next time it is clean.

There are pics up already of someone that already did the mod. Do a search for "puddle" and you'll see them.

I had been throwing the idea around to Plasti Dip the wheels vs. powdercoating them, but I finally just said screw it and did it. I figure, if I didnt like it I would just peel it off. I have done all the trim including the handles and ive been happy so far! I also worked with Dan from DAYTIME Brightlights who was more than helpful getting me these new LED puddle lights. I highly recommend contacting him! Its a great mod and really stands out at night! I will add a completed photo of the wheels this week!

I wish the X had DRLs like the Edge Sport because they have some better looking ones on their site.

Congrats! It looks very nice! I am also going to order the puddle lights from brightlites.com That's the last thing I want to do to my Sport which by the way is also in the White Platinum Tri-Coat with the Charcoal Black Sienna Interior!

The wheels look awesome, I really like the softer glow the stock puddles provide, but you definitely get more function from the LEDs there.

How did you get black handles?

 

[R1chard]

How much did you pay for LED puddle lights?

 

[deewan]

R1chard - I'm not sure what the cost is, but this is a mod that can be done by yourself if you are so inclined. I did mine and it took about 45 minutes and less than $7 in LED bulbs and materials.

Thanks!

I ordered a set of the Puddle LED lights from www.DAYTIMEBrightLites.com Should get them later this week, and then on with the install! I'll keep you guys posted.

I actually found the Ford part number for the said puddle light assemblies (about $25/each) and I think I will order two to modify with the LEDS. I figured if anything goes wrong I will always have an OEM spare set to fallback on.

Thanks for forwarding the install information.
