Could just be the bulbs, as they don't stay on that long, sometimes I think that mine have blown, but they still work, therefore it's easy to not see them |

Tried 2 new bulbs but they still dont work. Wondered if there was some way to enable/disable them?

Did a battery reset and now get a flash from the drivers side (on for less than a second) but still nothing on the passenger side ??? Very strange |

I believe that Craig and a few others have wired the puddle lamps in the mirrors to the lights in the door bottom, as they stay on a lot longer, being part of the interior lights. How many times have you unlocked the car in the dark, to have the puddle lamps go out just when you are close enough to see them. I find that you have got to be with in 3 feet of the door to gain any benefit from the light, and that is normally to show you what you are already standing in |

My place is pitch black at night! They are enough to light the surrounding areas |
