Puddle Lights

[AM-DB9]

Has anyone tried fitting aftermarket AM logo Puddle Lights to their doors?

I like the look of the factory logo Puddle Lights on my wife's Mercedes and am entertaining the idea of modifying my DB9.

Yes - looks good and not tacky, in my opinion...

Ditto I like them

You can get them from Marcus [e-mail]

Yes, I did too on my DB11. Very much like them. I purchased mine on Amazon.

I found this earlier today after seeing these posts. It may well be the same guy you’ve referred to as the LED number plate lights look very similar to ones I bought on eBay a few years ago. And I’m fairly sure that name rings a bell. How difficult are the puddle lights to wire in? I’m assuming they would share the existing wiring to the lights that are already in the door? BRM.

On my DB11 the lights were plug and play. They literally had the same connector as the OEM lights. Took about 7 minutes in total to install.

Thanks. Looks a lot easier to fit these on the current generation cars. I was asking re most of the Gaydon models, and it seems to involve drilling and a bit more faff, as the puddle lights don’t actually replace the lights already fitted inside the door. If anyone has fitted them to a Gaydon Vantage please let me know how you got on. TIA chaps. BRM.

Looks like he has two types for sale, one being a direct replacement and the other being an add-on needing to get the drill out. I fitted those requiring the drilling, it's actually very easy. The hardest part is making the electrical connection as the wires on the new light are very, very thin and even stripping back the insulation causes you to lose some of the cores and obviously with it being so thin you have to be selective about the connector that you use to spice it into the wiring to the existing light. I did it by cutting the wiring then soldering the new wires onto the wires from the existing light then using a connector block to join them to the wires from the loom.

Thank you for all of the reply's.
I did have the Amazon ones bookmarked so i will give them a try.
I have the DB9.2 so i think they will fit, fingers crossed.
... On second thought it is not looking good for those. i have rounded ends and the projector looks like it would be facing me and not the street.




Here is another link if anyone is interested; is a cheaper set.

As you have DB9.2 you will need the type which requires drilling a hole in to the plate on the underside of the door, and each one will need to be wired in to the existing cabling to the light which is already fitted on the inside of the door, ie the courtesy light shown in your picture. The puddle light needs to point to the ground, not towards your seat. DB11 plug in type as shown in the Amazon link is completely different, as was well described by AMV8Stuart yesterday. It doesn’t look too taxing, so I have ordered a set, and will tackle the job in the New Year. BRM.

[AM-DB9]

yes, i will be ordering the "drill a hole" style this coming week.
Merry Christmas !
