I think that was for the LED plate lights. I've issued replacements and refunds for those. It was the low quality of the LEDs that caused them to burn out. You can always reach me at 778 898 6041. Do you know Gordon, kenny and those guys in Richmond?

out of curiosity, is there way to shut them off while driving? or do you have to disconnect them and take them off? do they go on when you put the lights on?

You connect them to the rear dome light, so when you unlock the car or open the doors they will come on.

so they do shut off when you drive, im assuming?

also, if they are connected to that rear dome light, would that mean if you put that on while you are driving, the puddle lights would come on?

sorry for all the questions

thanks

Yes they do, unless you drive with your rear dome light on.

Sorry guys but I'm actually waiting to board another flight from SFO at the moment and then going to Dallas coming back next Friday. Hopefully I'll find some time to do this in the next couple of weeks!

4 wheeled car.
I bought these lights from DIon a long time ago...almost 2 yrs ago. I didn't like how big they were. they are thick and not short. The prongs at the end, although he says are bendable, are super fragile and broke easily during install. To his credit, the price is right and he offered me a refund without any hassle, and it was shipped fast to me. He even let me keep them, but they are just collecting dust somewhere in my garage. Perhaps he changed the design a bit? But on the W210 there wasn't much room to work withand with all the wires in the skirt, the said prongs were easily broken and bent beyond repair.

Anyone have any opinions on the quality of the puddle lights that Jlevi SW is offering? They are backordered until Monday. They are only $35 for 10 lights. Was thinking about picking these up, however only 1 LED per light is kind of dissapointing.

After considering the problem you had, I have found that it was mainly a clearance issue. When installing the lights in the sideskirts, they were too tall to it properly, so when you replaced the skirt, it crushed the prongs on the lights. When installing them in the underbody panels, there is much more clearance and this should not be an issue.
