OnTheeEdge Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) I installed some additional puddle lights on my Focus ST awhile back and my wife took interest. She told me that when she gets her Edge she wants the same thing. It's a simple little mod but makes the car look much better. Pumping your gas in a fluorescent lit gas station at night, people start to look. I just tide them into the light up "Edge" on the door sill.

037 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I thought the Edge came stock wired with not very bright puddle lamps, know the bulb size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheeEdge Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Sorry, I wasn't very clear in my original post. I bought these http://www.ebay.com/itm/111713506788, and ran them under the cars. Water proof and very bright. I've had them on my Focus since February with zero issues. Just thought I would share the cheap mod with everyone here. $6 for bright puddle lights 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Are you saying the mirror lights are stock? Mine are not even visible unless you stare at them from bottom up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheeEdge Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Nope. I bought some bulbs off Amazon and changed them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N3J7XEG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_emjoxb0ADKXTN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezz Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Puddle lamps: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-LED-Rear-Side-Mirror-Door-Ghost-Lights-for-Ford-Edge-Explorer-Mondeo-Taurus-/322088158674 They didn't exactly fit, had to grind the metal housing down (built very well) and ended up gluing them in because they still wouldnt snap in. They look pretty awesome at night, however they are not as bright as OnTheeEdge's puddle lamps. Edited December 22, 2016 by Beezz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have any issues getting the OEM puddle lights out of the mirror housing? I played with mine a bit today and they wedge themselves after getting them out a bit. Thinking of getting some LED puddles to replace the OEM ones. Edited August 23, 2016 by jmr061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjm623 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Did you have any issues getting the OEM puddle lights out of the mirror housing? I played with mine a bit today and they wedge themselves after getting them out a bit. Thinking of getting some LED puddles to replace the OEM ones.I used my thinnest, smallest flathead bit. Like the one from a watch repair kit, that thin. Once you pop the clip and have it where it feels wedged. Start on the clip side and get the screwdriver angled so it goes up and over the top of the puddle light and push down. I did this every quarter inch or so like opening a paint can if that makes sense? By the time you get to the opposite side of the clip(where the two wires snap on) it should either fall out or be able to be wiggled the rest of the way. I highly suggest doing LEDs here, much brighter and more usable light hits the ground. The stock ones seem to just light up the side of the door Edited August 23, 2016 by Tjm623 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke one of them removing it, which is why I had to replace them. As Tjm623 suggested, use a super small flat head bit and get the clip side to disconnect first, then on the opposite side there is a little black rectangle thing on the puddle lamp, get something(toothpick) to unlatch it from the mirror housing. Just be careful and you'll be able to wiggle it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjm623 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I did it the opposite way, disengage that clip first. The connection side is where I got to last. I doubt it matters, but to me it made more sense to disengage the clip prior to pulling down and end on the side with the wires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr061 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well apparently the proper way is to take the mirror apart first. Seems like a big task but it is actually fairly simple. I still had the "wedge" problem though and found if I put a screwdriver on the opposite side of the release tab and "pushed/pulled" hard enough the back side dropped out and then using the release tab, came out no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjm623 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well that's one way to do it. Using my method I had both out and replaced in 10 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
