My puddles came with "U" brackets. I mounted them behind the sideskirts on the black plastic sub frame that the sideskirts mount to. That way, I didn't have to drill the sideskirts. You have to be careful because the sub frame is not flat the lenght of the sideskirt. You will have to place material under the "U" brackets to level out the lights and the beam. I wrapped the wires in loom, so it's now a little cleaner.

thx mark for the pic! it really helps me visualize how you did this mod. quick question: are the u brackets custom made or are they provided that way when you got the puddle lights? i'm not aware of any puddle light manufacturer that provides u shaped brackets (but then, i haven't really looked into it! ). if the u brackets are provided that way, which brand puddle light came with it? thx!

Yes...the sets that I have include the brackets so you can flush mount, or surface mount.

Cracked the lower rear bumper, so I painted it silver to hide the repair....a little different look....

The exhaust was off centered so there were cracks around each outlet. Maybe it's the angle.

Oh, I'm direct with JP and ings so I just used my wholesale accounts.

Picked the car up from my audio guy.....added new custom Kappa X-overs and the new JBL MS-8 processor....







This unit made it easier to integrate the amps into the factory ML system and also has a lot of additional functionality and flexibility.
