I Tried New Puddle Lights

[BlueLightning]

I was picky since buying the truck about what kind of puddle lights I wanted. I went through two sets on my wife's Model 3 before finding one that was bright and clear, but I couldn't remember where I bought them from, so I wanted to do some research and be patient.

Fast forward to this past weekend, @Tesstudio sent me out there puddle lights that I won last month, and I was excited to pop them in and check off that accessory. If I were honest, I was sceptical at first, as buying puddle lights from Amazon stores didn't work out well in the past but, these things are Bright and Clear!

I went with the graffiti logo and love it. The installation was simple (they are puddle lights), but the Tes Studio ones were a bit tight to put in, I guess that's a good thing.

I'd recommend them if anyone is looking for puddle lights. Don't let the low price fool you; these things are cool. I wish pictures did them justice.

finally remembered to take a photo of the blue ones i have from abstract ocean.

I really like that, do they have other colors?

Good eye, I really didn’t notice that until looking just now. It appears to be a convergence issue as it’s off in the beginning and end but perfect in the middle

Maybe if your ride height was in high...

The Tesla OEM Cyber shape ones I find are pretty useless and not that bright.

I was going to get them, they looked pretty sharp on the website. The light by itself isn't too bright. I didn't even realize it had puddle lights for a couple months.

In a lit parking lot at night for example, do they stand out at all or difficult to see?

Are you keeping them?

yeah you can notice them and they stand out at night even some well lit areas. They just don’t throw light all around to light up the ground as puddle lights should be designed to do. Best term to say they are a spot light focused shape on the ground, not a flood light that would spread light all around that I would prefer.
Was a pain to install so maybe summer time I will swap them.

I tried, Entry, High, and Extract but all had the same look.

I agree, it’s a trade off with these aftermarket puddle lights. While you get new bright shapes or logos that really look cool, the downside is that they don’t “flood” the ground with light, defeating the purpose of puddle lights.

So design vs function

These ones that I installed were a little wider than the OEM ones, making it a little more difficult to push in all the way. I wouldn’t say it’s a pain but it’s not as easy as the OEM ones, just need to push into place harder.

yes they have other colors.

these were not difficult to install. i had a pry tool which took the stock one out. these have a little longer pigtail so you dont have to fight the short wire in the door. they pop on just as easy.

Pro Tip for anyone replacing these: They are a pain to remove, but on the rear doors at least, you can push them out from the iMaude through the emergency release handle. Found out yesterday.

I wish that there were puddle lights for the mirrors so that we could have our cake and eat it too.
