Upgraded Puddle Lamps, Neat or excessive ? - superfox - 13-03-2013 08:40am
Forum Members I'm after your opinions
I'm not really the type of person to care about what others think when modifying my cars.
This being a exception because it's a tie breaker in my mind
I'm think of installing puddle lamps that exceed the stock units, a lot.
On one hand they produce a very nice neat light glow that gives a well-lit area around the entry points
The other hand is it kind of brings it close to looking like to fast to furious, a tuner car
Let the poll begin, I'm welcoming criticism and complements

Update, A few more ideas attaching the L.E.D's to the bottom of the door.

Heh, I don't hate it but.....
It does look a bit like a UFO or a tuner mod. It actually looks like one of those marketing teasers, just a hint of the shape.

Might look good in cool blue. If you are not too bothered by other peoples opinions then I would go for it. You cant please all of the people all of the time so you might as well just please yourself
Unless of course its the wifes opinion

I’m not sure myself!
I think unless you are displaying the car in a show, they are a bit too noticeable and might make the car stand out for the wrong reasons.
However, if you like it, then do it.
Life is too short

It's hard to deicide
Maybe I should tone it down so it's only bright around the door and boot, try and make it less noticeable.
Yes it's a city RRE I've done dirt, mud and sand now it's time to dress her up and leave her to the road.

Would they be on all the time? If you wanted to use them as puddle lights you could hook them up so they only come on with the handbrake?

I would connect them relayed off the interior lights. When ever the inside lights came on so would the puddles. So locking the car would turn them off unlock back on for entry/ exit you have good visibility.

Whatever you choose, you won't get far with them plugged into the wall !
