Those are pics that you took? Are they pretty bright? Are they really white, I bought ones that were more blue in color and don't like them?

Yeah they give off a slightly bluish tint. I got them to match my HIDs. To me they're brighter than the stock lights. I think the PUTCOs are brighter due to them having more SMD Leds per blub. These have 12 per bulb

I'm at work and about too order...how many do I need? I have a 07 short yukon!!

I ordered 6 for my 2009 Tahoe. They're 44mm Festoon type bulbs. You might want to double check if those are the same type bulbs you're car uses.

got mine from VLED.com and they are soooo amazing. a bit more expensive $12 a bulb but from the pics, i would say that mine are brighter....

i also got the puddle leds license plate leds and reverse light leds. what a difference.

although after seeing how cheap these are, i think i might have went this route

I think they're bright enough. keep in mind there is a slight blushish tint.

Anyone having problems with a 09 puddle lights? my LED's still only flash on and won't stay on. my dome light button is in extended position and exit/approach lighting are set to on. I thought both the puddle lights and license plate lights were to stay on when i took the key out to exit the vehicle? I dunno.

i just did mine today and it looks awesome. I did the license plate lights also. I wanted to do the puddle lights under the mirror in my 03 but i have no idea what kind of bulb that is.

Thanks....You have to set exit lighing on your DIC for it to work, look in your owners manual to clarify what I am talking about!

Both exit lighting and approach lighting are set to lights 'on'.

I do know the LP ligths should be on when the vehocle is exited like the headlight, not sure about the puddle lights as I don;t have them.
Maybe you should go and makesure the puddle light LEDs are tight in the housing, if they are then that could just be how they operate.

you would have to go to the DIC and adjust the exit lighting set it to 2 minutes. they'll stay on for that period but as far as driving with those lights on can not happen that is not what those lights are for!!. i have installed them on my trucc the same time i put the license plate lights on and when i use the remote to unlocc the doors the puddle lights come on...but doesn't stay on. its just on a timer. so to speak i think they suppose to come on when you open the door as well but im not to sure bout that becuz i set my lights to stay on when the doors are open.

ok i'll try to set it for 2 min...right now they're set for 1 minute.

yeah its like when you unlocc your trucc and walk to it all the lights stay on for that set amount of time to me its for show i honestly forgot there were lights under there. I was just looking for more spots to add those lights....looks to much better then that factory look too. hope you enjoy the mod..

yeah even set at 2 min didnt turn on puddle lights when i entered or exited the vehicle. they still flash when i unlock the doors.

I'm wondering if this could be a '09 problem. oh well
