2016 Puddle Light Write up.

[LowCountrySilverTP]

I recently upgraded every last light on my truck to cool white LED's all were fairly simple and found write ups for all, except for the puddle light write up or video. So here, it is. It's my first, so bear with me.

STEP 1: Turn mirror inward as far as possible and gently pull off, it will sounds bad but it won't break anything as long as you're gentle. After that, follow these pictures below.

Carefully take back cover off following the step below.

Remove screws to begin the removal of the lower cover and light housing assembly.

Again, carefully use flat head on these clips to remove lower cover.

Once removed, you'll see the light housing.

Remove old bulb carefully.

Here, you can see the difference in the bulbs. MAKE SURE YOU REALLY PRESS THE NEW BULB IN, I PUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER AND HAD TO RE-DO IT. The connection is very finicky.

Here's a picture of the new bulb, and over a street light. So you can still see how bright it is.

Make sure you order bulbs capable of dimming. I got these from diodedynamics.com

Here are the rest of the inside LED's which I ordered from carid.com.

These are also dimmable, and I ordered from carid.com

All four doors, swapped.

The vanity lights are stupid crazy bright, and I got those at carid.com as well.

Stock vs. Led license plate bulbs.

I found this to be the most efficient way to access the lights without having to remove the mirror, written by [MENTION=66390]ROBSCOOL[/MENTION] http://www.toyota-4runner.org/1635487-post20.html

YMMV

Xenon depot has a good reference chart that lists them.

Hey, boss. I made this for you. It's from carid.com I hope it helps, you can run the larger 194 bulbs in certain areas but I decided that the shorter ones sufficed. Good luck!

The puddle lights are from diodedynamics.com and are the only ones, easy find.
