How are you guys running the puddle light wires from the sideskirts into the cabin? Where do I run them?

 

Puddle lights?

 

wtf is a puddle light?? like a fog light?

 

its a JDM thing, and only people that would put a sticker that says "I love JDM hoes" would know what they are.

idk but when you find out could you let us know.

 

sorry to bring this back up from the dead..but I am also interested in this....i have them sittin in the garage and cannot figure out where to run them either.

 

bump bump me too - going to buy them soon!

 

i still havent recieved any feedback as to how to run them..i saw people cutting holes in there side skirts..i wasnt sure i would want to do that.

 

ask sen_jen.

get some mounting brackets.

 

is that his name Calvin on here? sen_jen?

 

sen_jen is just someone who has already done this. so i figure he can help you. here is his car.



you can also ask jdbinspired how he did his. here is his car. before anyone asks, it's bagged.



however, both people have sold their cars and may be difficult to get a hold of. i believe they both still log on driver periodically, though.

 

ok cool calv! thanks for the help...I will see what i can do with the mounting brackets.

 

I didn't use any brackets for mines.

-Grabbed some PCV pipe from the local hardware store. Cut holes in my sideskirts(make sure the holes are smaller the then pipe).

-Cut the PCV pipes at about 1" in length. siliconed the puddle lights to the top of the pipe facing down and then siliconed the other end of the pipe to the inside of the sideskirts.

-I ran the wires from the sideskirts through under the door sills, through the panel with the fuse box, Up the side of the dash, through the door pillar, through the roof liner and tapped it into the dome lights. Installing it to the dome is what i would suggest. So when you open the doors. Lights come on. when the dome lights fade to off, so will the puddle lights.

-Sorry no pictures and for the bad explaination. Did it a real long time ago...

 

I assume you temporarily stuck the lights on the sideskirt to make sure they were lined up when lit right?

 

you could of just routed the lights to the fuse box...there are 2 plugs on there that when you open the door the lights come on.
