PUDDLE LIGHT MOD *(Added door/floor LED's)* PG 2
Well last night I got a wild idea to install LED's in the bottom of the sideview mirrors.
I wasen't real sure how to go about it but said what the hell and did it.
I didn't really think about taking alot of pics but I did get a few.
These things are amazing... At first they were a little too bright so I sanded the LED's down a little with light sandpaper. Basically frosted them.
Heres a few pics.
They look kinda blue but they're super bright white.
I actually like how this looks in the dark opposed to the door handle LED mod.
Thoughts?

I had planned on 2 or 3 per side but one is plenty bright.
The LED's I used were 5mm 5000mcd super whites. I actually took some sand paper to them to even out the spotlight look. Basically frosted the glass to even out the light.
It's subtle enough that it looks factory. I didnt want it to "stand out" like something was stuck under the mirror.

Naah, i am set in the audio department in the trunk, Gtr bumper I am not the body kit kind of guy, lip maybe. I am surprised no one has taken that off of you.
Let me know if you have any audio mods for the interior, kick panels, etc.

Drilled a small hole in door pocket and wired them to the step lights.

Im waiting on a few goodies that should arrive on monday, more pics to come.

After all that I decided to try and install blue LED's in the floor of my Pathfinder.
Wasen't easy considering the truck dosen't come with footwell lights.
I installed all of the super white LED's from MaxPower, and ended up tapping into the overhead console for power. Ran the wire throught the headliner and down the A pillar to the floor. There was absolutely NOTHING to mount to but I got it done.
Sorry for the crappy pics, I'll take more.

all these mods are A+ love the puddle light! Not sure If I would do the handles with the mirrors.... Will either look really good or overdone. Looks like you know what looks good so can't wait to see what else you got up your sleeve! I'd like to get something like the puddle done in the next month or so! keep it up bud

hate to be the guy but it looks a little to much ricey, the puddle light mod is cool but now ur interior looks to bright maybe all white leds would look better IMO over the blue
