Received my fog lamp and puddle lights yesterday, and it took just about an hour to put both in. Very nice product, excellent instructions. Thank you very much for your time in putting this together.

OK ... I have not had a chance to talk to vIce^gRip as he has been really busy lately but we'll go ahead and shutdown this group buy as interest has slowly waned.
I want to thank vIce^gRip for pulling this together. I'd also like to thank all of those who have participated. I hope you enjoy your products as much as I have enjoyed making them for you. Last I'd like to thank the management here at the "club" for permitting this group buy to go forward.
Those who have ordered up to this date will receive the group buy pricing as advertised.
Now I am off to focus entirely on the dash gauge pods. Again, thanks to everyone who participated.

Puddle lights took me about 45 mins a side, but I was taking it slow. The instructions are great, just be very careful about taking the back off the mirror housing, had to superglue a couple of tabs back on since they're easy to break.

Damn!! Too late on this one. The saddest thing is, I read through every post for 13 pages and lusted after these Puddle Lams, only to find out I'm too late. arg! If anyone has any out there and wants to sell them, PM me please.

Question:
I just installed one of these this weekend. The problem I ran in to was with the wire taps. Now I've never worked with wiring before, so let me know if I'm an idiot.
Do you have to manually strip the wires involved with the red plastic wire taps, or should the little device do it automatically? I ended up whittling away some wire with a razor blade and getting at it with some electrical tape since my wire taps were pretty f-ed up from my first attempt (did not strip any wire). Just curious how these are supposed to work.
Warning: When removing the rear view mirror housing (the part flush with the door) be careful about the upper-most alignment peg. It is offset so you will have to maneuver it a little bit. Mine would not budge and I ended up breaking it in the process.

All you do with a wire tap is to put the clip over the wire....put the new wire in the side that is only part way....and close the door on the tap....and carefully squish it with a plier....it will cut the wire you are tapping and provide a connection.
If you want a better, permanent install....nothing beats solder and a bit of waterproof heatshrink......

dannobre, thats exactly what I did. actually, I squeezed the hell out of them with a pair of vice grips, but the wire taps didnt even come CLOSE to penetrating the insulation on either of the wires. litteraly, there was a small dent that looked like a child might have tried to bite it once, but that was about it. Maybe I have stronger than normal insulation?
The first taps I tried are no longer usable, so I stripped the wires myself and used the other 2 wire taps. I need two more to do the other side (dont have a soldering gun). Can I pick these up at any hardware store?
Oh, also, I'll be putting in some 194 superbrightleds cause I can't see the lights at all unless it is absolutely pitch black (which doesnt happen often in New Jersey).

Tom: what kind of superwhites are you using? The last picture (on the first page) of this thread is my car with the bulbs I USED to have in there. They were already quite bright but I switched to autolumination's 194's and those things ROCK!
It looks like they've come out with 2 new designs since I got mine but the ones I have will work quite nicely.

wow, i was wondering if i was just being picky about the brightness. yea, you cant see mine at all either. i had a group of people standing around to see the "NEW PUDDLE LAMPS" and we thought they werent working. so i go and look up into it and they were on. they kind of throw a little haze on the side of the door but thats about it.
mine dont look anything like the pic in the first post ... so a new bulb will fix all that? or did i do something wrong in installation?
