AliExpress Puddle Lights

[Younger06]

I thought I'd take a chance on some cheap puddle LED's.....

Finally popped them into the doors today.

A tenner well spent I think.

Except they aren't as I found out because at that price they won't be shockproof , drivers door will be first to go for obvious reasons .

Could just be bad luck....the Aliexpress ones I had lasted for years.

The eBay specials I put on the 204 also lasted until I sold it. Not all Chinesium is created equal I guess.

Although when it's bad, it's really bad

Only a tenner and I kept the originals.

Also, I got a set of 4 and I'm not inclined to put them in the rear doors.....so I have a spare for each front door.

Are they easy to fit?

Easy on a 204. Prise out the old ones, unplug them, plug in the new ones, clip them back in.
Stand back and admire your handiwork. Back indoors for tea and medals

You’ll be giving Toe an idea for another quality coffee table.

How have I lived without it?

Very easy.......just pry them out...disconnect........connect new ones and clip back in.

The ones I bought came with a handy plastic trim removal tool.

We'll see how long they last......but for the money involved, it's a no brainer, if you like that sort of thing.

Agree - ordered some for well less than a tenner!

My eBay specials still work fine after nearly three years (MB logo and words)

So you can get lucky.....
