Thanks for your response. The heat is not an issue. They do get that hot for the amount of time they are on. I am going to try this weekend by removing the driver. A simple resistor will do. Thanks again and have a great weekend!

Thanks for you reply but I am unclear as to what type of relay you are referring to. I have been away for a while and want to get back to these. Thanks again

Thanks for your response. I forgot they dimmed on and off. I have a few 12v led arrays that I'll give a try. I'll see if the issue is related to the drivers. Thanks again!

Hi guys, First off , thanks for the great posts. Secondly, I wanted to shared my mod and ask a question from my results. Using some spare parts I decided to take on this project. My interior was converted to LED some time ago. I used 1 watt LEDs and some LED power drivers. I assembled the LED to the driver. Attached some leads and ran them through puddle rather than trying to solder to the connections. Finished product with everything sealed tight silicon-ed and sealed tight. The LED are much brighter and better. The question I have is a result of an issue that i have. It appears that the puddle lights come on when the doors are unlocked. However, they only come on on the second or third attempt. They don't work every time. I can't say for certain if this is what was happening before the conversion. And, I don't believe it was the case. Anyone experience/see this? Thanks again, AlAiN
