puddle lights still around?

So I know that the guy who used to make them hasn't been around recently... at least to my knowledge.

But does anyone know where I can get a install kit for an 8 that doesn't have them factory? Or maybe the username of the guy who used to make them?


Thanks for any info you can give.

funny you should mention that!
I talked to Shazbot28 a few days ago and he's in the process of making another master mold to begin production once again.

try sending him a PM and see if you can figure out when they will be available.

Swoope, if you could find some I'd be interested in buying.

and I sent derwankel an email too. Hopefully he's got some laying around.

hang tight guys, this will get done soon.
I've known Shazbot for a long time and he genuinely wants to get this started up again but he's finalizing a new mold and then needs to make a few puddle lights to ensure proper fitment.

I'm sure he'll pop in here soon with an update but he's probably busy with work, car stuff, and enjoying the Holidays.

Awesome! I don't mind waiting a little for this awesome apperance upgrade!

I'm guessing these will illuminate when you unlock the car? I hope so

yup, that's exactly how they work.
Here's a link to Shazbot's original Group Buy thread (now closed) that has some good pictures

Since Jorge gave up the link to the old thread, here's the one he started this June and scroll down for the latest update. Seems as if he's just about ready to go once again and updated this yesterday.

And.................while these may not be the updated directions, here's a look at what you will be doing!
