Dark Horse Puddle Lamps

[SnowyB]

I thought I'd let everyone know that I bought a set of the Dark Horse Puddle lamps but they don't work properly on our cars.

The lamps project different to the stock pony ones which point straight down. These are more like the ones off the FM and are angled.

With the new welcome lighting, the puddle lamps come on when the mirrors are auto-folded. They don't work any other time from what I can see. Because of this and the lamps, they don't work properly.

Wouldn't recommend buying these and I now know why we got the pony lamps.

I'll buy them off you if you dont have any use for them!

This is odd. Whoever designed them should have used the same wiring scheme. I'd be complaining to the company that made or sold them!

As I think about this, some company should come up with custom after-market ones. Say to display a unique license plate, or perhaps a picture of a Whipple. Heck with all of the electronics available today, you could even do a movie! Imagine a movie of your Dark Horse spinning off a month's worth of rubber every time you opened the door?!

They are standard off the shelf Ford ones. They work fine, just dont point in the right direction when the lights are on.

The funny thing is the manual says that the puddle lights work when mirrors aren't folded, but my experience is they only work when auto-folded. Which means that the Dark Horse style ones dont work. I dont know why the have angled and non-angled ones though, its a bit odd.
