Title: Puddle light question from Newby
Post by: toplad on March 24, 2015, 10:47:19 pm

Hi

Need to replace the puddle light on my pax side, quick scan on ebay shows a few. Are puddle lights LED as standard?

I don't want one as LED and the undamaged one a different brightness or colour?

Cheers

Does no one know the answer to this?

The OEM bulb is a simple w5w bulb. I recommend getting the full led version as it's much brighter. If you want to keep the OEM look, any car shop should have what you need.

I only need to replace one side , so would rather just buy one to match OEM, but all seem to be LED on eBay

If you don't want LED's try these instead.

I probably haven't worded this well, but it works fine. But the lens is cracked, that's the only bit I want to replace.

Can you check if you can identify the part number of the support. Should have one as it can be easily separated from the rest.
