    I'm honestly not sure then. I personally haven't run in to this issue. The only thing I can suggest is to double check all the connections to make sure everything is tight, and compare your T-harness and connections to someone elses.

    No I haven’t, just trying to see if anyone else has seen this before or any ideas. Every connection seems to be seated well and it works perfectly, just as it’s supposed to so I don’t really see anything being wrong with them. Seems to be some kind of power issue.

    The fact they functioned like normal after you opened (and closed?) your door sounds like you may have nicked something while running through the boot. I would suggest holding the door switch in and see if wiggling the door boot around makes the lights illuminate. Could even try opening and closing the door while keeping the door switch depressed (tape perhaps) and watching the lights. You may need a second person to test.

    Anyone still have their factory bottom mirror piece for the driver's side? Rock took mine off. Will pay.

    Edit: found

    Hello everyone @MESO. I have the puddles with the switch. Does anybody know if will it eventually automatically shutoff? I might have left it on at the parking lot.
    And I don’t mean when the battery drained…thx.

    You mean you left it in the ON position?

    I think it's going to stay on. Like leaving the DOME / MAPS on. :(

    That’s what I thought. Good thing it’s LED. But I’m afraid it will over heat. I might have a friend that can check it out 15 hours later. I can unlock it remotely for her to turn it off. I can also monitor the batt via N2designs CL6 app.

    Wait! The Domes/Maps turns off when left on.

    They will get hot, no sure if they will overheat? Good thing you can monitor it though

    But the puddle light switch is separate. They can work independently

    Edit: Maybe you had the puddle switch on 'door' / 'auto' and they turned off?

    I’m having issues with my switch also. I contacted meso over a week ago with no reply. I’m starting to have second thoughts on his products.

    I’m certain I toggled/pushed that switch all the way up.

    I got my GF to turn off the puddle switch…Low and behold the puddle lights were OFF. And yes, they were in ON position. I guess it’s tied with an auto shut off system?? Or…they’ve just overheated and burned out. It’s over 90° in my area and I forgot to asked her to check if the puddle lights still works. I’ll just have to see for myself when I get home in a couple of days.

    Is anybody running these with the MESO switchback DRL turn signals and the vled footwell lights? So all 3 together? Is it pretty simple?
