"Installed new Bright TRAX LED puddle lights in my 2011 and 2016 Edges"

Recommended Posts

I purchased these LED puddle lights for my two Ford Edges, a black 2016 and white 2011. I got them at www.DriveBright.com.
Dan was great to answer a couple of questions for me before I placed the order. He is very customer service oriented.
They were super simple to install. As you can see in the photo's below, what a difference in the illumination area!! I think this is a great value.

I bought the same puddles for a number of years on my 2011 Ford Edge. They've always died despite multiple replacements. I think I have V3s on my car now, but they've gone dark a long time ago. Finally found my original puddle lamps and will reinstall them. Sad, the replacements were awesome but I think water gets int he housing then they die soon after.

Originally dan handmade the puddles (I.e he used an oscillating tool to open them, put in new festoon led and sealed it with permex 7000. Water would eventually make its way through.

 

As of 2 years ago he had them made for him and they are sealed units. The new brightrax would be as good as oem.

 

That's just my $0.02.

Yup, I had the original set which were reused housings. I upgraded to the new design (but I think I ordered right when he was prototyping them). One took in water immediately, the next was completely coated in caulk which also took on water. I think the last replacement was sealed, but it only took 5 months to give out too.
