    Great execution of a project as always. I have a few vehicles with this style light and while they look cool as they usually project the vehicle logo on the ground, I find them all absolutely worthless as they all open with the door. When you actually need them is exiting the vehicle not getting in, and since they all open with the door, and the door blocks the light so you never see what your stepping into when exiting the vehicle. They only work when entering, and when entering you already know / can see what’s there. Much prefer to see them mounted from the rocker panels in some way, so they actually do work as puddle lights. Obviously that’s a lot harder due to making them off-road proof.

    This is awesome, took that part off months ago and was trying to figure out how to mount a Baja Design in there and just could figure out how to make it clean.
