Custom LED Puddle Lights!
#530
Hey guys, I said I would ship them out on the 21st but I've been absent-minded on everything going on around me with school, work, and life. I'm very sorry about that on how it's affected these things to be shipped out to you.
Most of them are in the boxes and ready to be shipped when I get home tonight. The ones that I haven't completely packed up are the orders with RED leds. I'm awaiting my shipment of LEDs to come in so I can quickly pack those up and ship them out to you. I'll be sending each of you guys an e-mail and PM tomorrow when they're in the possession of the Post Office.

Hope they make it next weekend. If not guess it'll give me something to do the weekend after and I'll have to occupy myself with stripping/repainting my bathroom instead. No where NEAR as much fun.

Modifying the Derwankle lights
How can I modify Derwankle puddle lights (I bought them but have not yet installed them, but plan to very soon) by using the 194 lights that are used for the puddle lights in this thread? I bought the 194 lights (both white and red because I haven't decided which ones to use yet) but I see that the Derwankle lights don't appear to have sockets so you can switch out those lights for any other type of light. Has anyone tried to modify their Derwankle lights with these 194 lights?

you don't need to modify anything on Derwankle's lights to run 194's. I've had his puddle lights for years and have always used 194 LED's.

Thanks Jedi for the info. I'll have to take a closer look at my Derwankle lights. I thought that they were embedded in plastic and it didn't look like they would come out easily. I guess I should have tried to twist or pull on them. The 194 lights have a cylindrical base which I am hoping will just fit into the Derwankle light sockets. I bought the 194 lights that were described in this thread.

OK, I've got it now! I pulled the blue lights out of my Derwankle puddle lights and saw that their base, so I looked at the 194 lights again and realized that the "cylindrical base" I thought I was looking at was the TOP of the bulb and the other end was the base. Duh! Anyway, I replaced the blue lights with my 194 lights and it looks like I am ready to install them now. [Hopefully, I won't look at the instructions upside down!]

Alright! Silly USPS tracking still wasn't showing as anything but Electronic Billing Received until late last night. This morning it shows 'Arrival at Unit' at the P.O. just up the street from me. Pretty quick. Means I might have it in hand today. Very nice!

How long did they take to install? I'm not very skilled in this kind of thing, but I'll be taking vacation time from work pretty soon and I was hoping to get these installed along with Rotary Rasp's footwell LEDs.. so at least I'll have plenty of time to work on them!!
Also, do you happen to have any pics with the blue? My interior lights are blue LEDs and naturally I'd like to match.

I've got to say I have nothing but praise for Shazbot. These have held up perfectly and look just as good as the day they were installed.
