Looking forward to it. I'll have to enjoy them vicariously through you for a few more days.

 

Hey guys, I hate to do this and I know I jumped the gun by saying I'd definitely ship out the first batch today but I noticed on the clear plastic bottom, it wasn't completely dry. Like a sticky surface still. I called up the plastic manufacture and they said it can take up to 3 days for such a thin surface (less than 1/4 in) to cure but I can help it by putting it in the oven and baking it at 170 degrees to speed it up.

I'm going to go home tonight and try that. I'll update you guys soon on how it went. Again, truly sorry for the delay in shipment.

 

Thanks again for the update Shaz, take your time.

 

No problem.

hmmm so we still waiting

 

whats the deal shaz??

 

Had to redo em. Figured out how to bake em just right so they dry in the 15-20 min that it should instead of the 3 day air dry sticky issue.

Good news. 4 whites and 1 blue will be shipped out tomorrow. They're all in their packaging and ready to go. Took a quick picture on my camera phone so pardon the low quality picture.

For the others, I am waiting for my package of LEDs to some in the mail. I'll let you know when I get them in. Should be early this week since I ordered them Monday last week.

Contents:
1x Letter
2x Puddle Lights! (Left & Right)
2x Phillips Screws
4x T-Splices
10x Zip Ties



Will update first post when I get to work today.

 

awesome!

 

cool beans. just one question tho. wouldnt you need four wire taps? one for power and one for ground * 2 for the both puddle lights? unless you do it another way?

 

Looking real good!
You ever figured out who gets the first set of blues?

 

he did

 

I was too lazy to go back and look, but I figured the one would of course do the dance!

 

Yeah.. I wasn't thinking correctly when taking that picture and packing them at 3 AM. There's only 2 that I accidentally shipped out with 2x wire taps and that's RX4X2 and snipaz2420. I'll send 2 more taps to you guys tomorrow morning. Everyone else has the right contents needed. Sorry about that.

PMed tracking numbers to those shipped out today.

 

sweet thanks

 

Updated list of packages shipped.

 

Just kidding of course! Congrats!

 

lol

should have them tomorrow and then i have to get some time to install

 

added a couple names interested and sent info.

 

Got my lights about an hour ago and just finished installing them on the car.

The instruction link I was sent didn't work so I just used the derkwinkle instructions. ( http://www.rx8fun.com/puddle/docs/Puddle_Lamps.pdf )

In the derwinkle instructions they talk about 9 clips holding the door on plus one screw under the arm rest. I also had a second screw (shown in one of the pics below holding the door.

Installation is a snap, just take your time. One thing to note, the wires i had to tap into did not go in the same order from drivers to passenger. There's a blue wire and a green wire in the car. A white and black from the kit. I believe how the bulb is plugged into the puddle light determines the polarity of the connection. It's a pretty easy thing to do right, just touch the bare metal ends of the wires from the puddle light kit to the courtesy light that you'll be tapping into. When the puddle light comes on, you have your correct splice.

Sorry for the picture quality. The GF has my camera somewhere and I didn't want to waste time finding it. These are all from my camera phone.
I'll post some pics tonight so we can all gaze and the warm glowing warmth.

picture of the other bolt i found holding the door on. You'll find it when you remove the switch trim plate



The guts of the door



Pretty light.. so blue



Making the splices. I didn't use the ones Shaz sent, I like these better



Removing the magic second screw. Didn't find it till after I tried removing the door panel. Thankfully I stopped before ripping it off



As many people have posted, just pull firmly on the mirror and it will pop off. When you're putting it back on make sure you feel all mounts engage and the mirror become rigid
