Installed 2nd batch puddle lamps today. Easy as pie adjusting and installing. Removing drivers side was PITA though. Suggest moving mirror up and apply pressure from inside to remove. Thanks again for this nice touch add-on!

The trick is to move a straight slot screwdriver in from behind. Screwdriver needs to be meaty but long and thin. I pushed the screwdriver in from the mirror glass side, pushed down on the locking tab of the lamp. When the tab releases from behind it should slide down enough to be able to grab with your hands and transfer the electrical connectors to the new lamp. Installation is reverse of removal. Took me a few tries but I got it.

Got mine in today. Driver’s side looks great. Passenger side doesn’t seem as sharp. I can push on the bottom and it seems to clear up. I installed them in the dark, so I’m gonna look at them again tomorrow.

Did anybody else’s come with the tape circles for the screws? Mine didn’t have any, so I used electric tape.

Yes, mine came with stickers. Electric tape won’t last too long. Ask vendor to send some stickers out, or maybe a skim coat of silicone on top?

I know this is an old thread, but thought I would post this in case anybody else was thinking of ordering. I’d stay away. The first set I got were out of focus. They sent another set, and those were okay for a few weeks. Then they started creeping out of alignment. I didn’t really worry about it for a few months, and then the driver side suddenly went 90 degrees out and moves every time you shut the door. It just kinda rattles. My messages were totally ignored by the seller, and I simply inquired about warranty or any tips on a self repair in case there was a common issue or something. It’s been a couple weeks now. I’m going to take apart both sets I have and see if I can make one good set.

I know they don’t have to stand behind something once you’re out of the 30 day eBay dispute period, but it’s pretty crappy to just ignore a customer. I’m pretty disappointed in this eBay seller.

Yea, I worked with them on getting this done. The reviews on eBay were 99% positive so I figured they were ok.

The failure ratio was awfully high for the first batch, second batch was better, and then they became unresponsive.

My original set are still good. They did send me a couple free sets for working with them.

It’***** or miss unfortunately.

Should have a lifetime warranty though

I have second batch set. Overall there pretty good though. The passenger side emblem rotated a half-click on its own, and they are a bit shaky when closing doors. Overall, better than what was there...

Not your fault. It’s a shame the seller isn’t standing behind these though. They’re really neat, but the lifetime warranty isn’t much good if they ignore your messages. Lol.

Where did you find the warranty info? That’s why I emailed them in the first place. I was inquiring about the warranty because I can’t find anything at eBay.

I haven’t had a chance to rip the broken one apart yet. Hopefully there’s just something popped loose or something else simple.

Used to be displayed on the eBay vendor site... it looks like they have moved to a 30 day policy...

I worked with ICBM Performance but it looks like there are multiple vendors now offering the same lights.
