No seriously, the lights are a carry over from the JDM model, so blame the Japs.
They're pretty useless besides the "cool" factor when unlocking your doors at night.
I'll trade you mine for a second oil cooler though.

Edit:
By the way, when do they come on? When the door opens?

What would you use the puddle lights for? It will show the reflection of puddles at night so you don't step in one before you get in the car? Never seen anything like that. Kind of strange. Interesting how Japan caters to different RX stuff in other countries. yeah, I'd go for the extra oil cooler before the puddle lights.

Well 1.3L I am going to do the same in the Spring time I think. You have to remove the front bumper deal to put in the protective screens. Autos come with one cooler however. There is DIY on removing the bumper and there are some places on this forum where you can buy the screens. Since the bumper is off, we should put a screen in the lower front where that big plastic area is in front of the condenser for the AC and put a screen there to protect the AC condensor.

Pretty crap if that's its intended purpose since they don't illuminate that much.

I think the are ok. One time, in complete darkness, I saw the mud by the driver's door (cuz it rained heavily) just in time to avoid it, when I unlocked the car, and didn't mess the interior...

these lights are pretty common on other cars here in the U.S. My mom's explorer has them - biggest benefit - um... well I can find her car at night when I unlock it??? and it illuminates your door therefore you dont miss grabbing your handle
they seem kinda pointless but not very uncommon
