Default puddle lights as my next mod...

Hey everybody,

I am thinking of installing puddle lights as my next mod. I found these on eBay, (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...937&rd=1&rd=1), but their inexpensive price has me second guessing their quality. Has anyone bought these before? If so how are they holding up?

Also, I am having the hardest time deciding between blue puddle lights and white puddle lights. What color are you feelin the most, feel free to vote in the poll.

Thanks for the comments,

Jeff

Definitely white...also I read somewhere that the "best" looking puddle lights have a group of "many" LEDs as opposed to one larger center bulb. Def. a VIP look - I'll probably do it when I have a chance. Oh, BTW I also read somewhere that someone used curtain rods (painted black) and fastened the puddle lights to them for a perfectly straight beam pattern <---good idea!

my father has a Zero Crown Athelte and has OEM puddle lights but its built inside the side mirror and only activates when the door is open. I've seen cars with those but kinda looks tacky IMO if you have them on all the time.

just my 2cents.

White is classy, blue is a 97 civic.
