Puddle lamps - Mudi1 - 09-06-2012 01:24pm When are the puddle lamp supposed to work? In the dark - of course, but my query is that mine only come on when I unlock the car with the key, not when I open it by keyless entry and not on locking with the key. Lights are on auto. I also have the wing mirrors (elephant ears) folded upon locking and wondered if this makes a difference. There is nothing in the handbook about them and I have read other threads on this forum to try to find the answer before posting this new thread.

Again a bit late as you've stepped out of the car straight into a puddle! This is where they should have the puddle lamps illuminate on approach with the key. And then a different set built into the bottom of the door for when you're stepping out! Personally I am finding them a bit of a waste of time as they're not actually that bright. RE: Puddle lamps - XFullFatTim - 09-06-2012 03:06pm Chuckle, have you checked that there isn't a bit of pre-delivery protection still stuck on the lens? Mine are quite bright enough to illuminate any puddles Puddle lamps - Kimv - 09-06-2012 06:39pm (09-06-2012 03:06pm)XFullFatTim Wrote: Chuckle, have you checked that there isn't a bit of pre-delivery protection still stuck on the lens? Mine are quite bright enough to illuminate any puddles Thanks.. By this I finally realized why they call them "puddle" lamps... Translated in Dutch (Plaslamp) it would mean the same as "pee-lamp"... (we have the same word for "puddle" and "pee"...) RE: Puddle lamps - Bowl - 11-06-2012 01:44pm Actually they do come on when unlocking with keyless. Touch the inside of the door handle - do not pull. The car should unlock, wing mirrors unfold and the puddle lamps illuminate. However, they will continue to illuminate even when the doors are open... For a short while, along with front and rear parking lamps. RE: Puddle lamps - Mudi1 - 12-06-2012 07:16am (11-06-2012 01:44pm)Bowl Wrote: Actually they do come one when unlocking with keyless.

I know it is a fun extra, but all the children love it and it seemed a shame that you would never see them if using keyless (excellent invention) all the time.

My girlfriend loves it too. Sometimes I even unlock using the remote key just to admire the light show from distance. RE: Puddle lamps - invoke - 20-06-2012 03:12am Puddle lamp only works when you are standing in the puddle. You have to turn on ths feature first. |
