LED Puddle Light

[RedlandRanger]

Can I just replace the puddle light bulb with an LED bulb? Or is it the whole light assembly that needs to be changed? Haven't messed with it yet.

The whole light assembly gets changed. I replaced mine last night and the new ones are WAY brighter than the stock ones.

This is what I used:

Whole assembly that takes 5 minutes to install.

Yep...

XLTs don't have the puddle lights, so unless you want to retrofit them to an XLT side mirror they won't work.

I noticed I dont have the indentation at the bottom, Ive had F150's many years. this Ranger sold me on the looks. but I'd like to upgrade a few things. I'll pop off the cap and see if there is wiring there.

Were these plug and play?

It has to be the whole assembly

Yes - The stock lights have blades that the wiring plugs into - the replacements have a short wire that plugs into the blades - the stock wires are VERY short. Took me maybe 5 minutes to do both sides.

I installed the LED Puddle lights yesterday. Pretty straight forward although its not a true plug and play. You have to cut the old lights off so that you just have the wires, remove about a quarter inch of sheathing from each wire and connect it to the leads of the new light, then wrap with electrical tape. Was hoping for just an unplug and plug in the new one, but no big deal. They look fantastic, just hope they last.

Edit: Reading the post above mine, maybe I did it wrong lol

I did not cut any wires, just unplugged from the old light and plugged the wires into the new wires on the new light. I did not tape the connections because the stock terminals were really not protected at all either, so I didn't think it was necessary.

I tugged on the old lights and nothing really happened, so I figured they were crimped in there somehow so I just cut right at the top of the blade on the stock ones, probably took off about a quarter inch of the wire. I guess if they fail, I'll put new blades on and do it the right way. The more you know

Here's the stock ones, unplugged and the led ones.

Is there a trick to getting them out? I got one side unlatched but I can't get the light to come out. I didn't want to pull on it very hard.
