Puddle Light bulb replacement
I believe that one reason the puddle lights were dropped is because they are really not ALL THAT BRIGHT especially if there is some attendant or area light surrounding the car. Thus, they are not really noticable at dusk or such. My Suburban's are very bright and as a result are much more useful.

Question- Has anyone replaced the bulbs to make them brighter?

In a dark garage or parking lot, they are amazing.. One of the few luxury things of the car that I really like.

Oh I like them and your right in a dark area they are awesome, but I was just thinking of "tricking" them out a little I guess
