These go by many various names... but seemingly "Ghost" and/or "Shadow" is always in the title. They install under the door, and shine down as puddle lamps do, but with an image / logo instead of a plain light. Here are ones with a Ford logo: http://amzn.to/1xNhIc6
I've bought some and looking to install, but not sure where to connect the wires. I figured I would just tap into the wires that run the side mirror puddle lamps. I may even remove the puddle lamp bulbs, as to not drown out the logo image with another light source, or potentially overload the circuit (though these single LED projectors are very low power).
I'll keep this post updated as I go. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this sort of thing? Most installation videos I've seen on other cars tap into other (harder to reach) power sources, because they don't have side mirror puddle lamps. It seems it would be much easier to do on Explorers, as the puddle lamp already functions the exact way wanted for the ghost lights.
