    I cut mine in half. They sell connections that are “u” shaped so I don’t see a problem with it.

    these are typically called "spade" or "fork" connectors if you're googling

    Puddle pods won't need an relay, but put a relay with the LEDs that you plan to hook up to the DSIM. Look here for how to wire up the DSIM.

    If you mean the door bowl lighting with puddle pods then yes, they work great together:D. I have them both installed and love it. Nice bright entry lights and a nice accent for the handle on the inside. 20200517_215913.jpg 20200713_221155.jpg

    Thank you!
    You think I’ll need a relay for something like the bowl lighting? Draw seems really small. Do you have the bowl lighting connected to a Dsim module and the puddle pods? Not an electrical expert at all. Need all the help I can get:rofl:

    No relay needed for the puddle pods or bowl lighting.. i did use a relay for my rock lights,lights, lights and bumper bar. My rock lights are setup on a switch for off/manual/auto with doors.Are you adding the dsim to get them to fade with the dome lights?

    Yeah, I’m planning on it. I have the v4 and I’m gonna try and tackle this. And didn’t have a relay, so if I needed one, I probably wasn’t gonna do it. Do the bow lights fade on and off too? Lol.

    The DSIM utilizes the dome circuit. It will be on/off with the dome light (same as the puddle pods). There is a fix for the v4 to put a diode inline on the ground, other wise the capacitor will back feed the dome circuit and defeat the dimming on and off of the dome lights. Hopefully that make sense?

    Got it:thumbsup:but I’m Not worried about the dome light dimming on and off atm. Maybe down the line when I buy rock lights, bar and other things I’ll get to it. I just had this puddles since the second time he released it, and it’s just been sitting. Wanted to install it already haha.

    Hey, those door bow lights looks pretty sweet, have a link or any threads on this? I’ve been away for a while. I have a lot of catching up to do in the mod world lol. I finally just got to knocking out like 4 things I had sitting around the garage this past weekend. Thanks
