    Do you have a brown leather limited and then changed to the red stitching from a pro?

    Well, I was gonna install my puddle lights today, but I’m missing the Y-splitter. I’ve already PM’d Stew. Thinking about doing everything but the A-pillar connections...

    Just got everything hooked together and the passenger side works, but the drivers side doesn’t? I’m pretty sure everything is hooked together right? I do have it where the lights don’t kick on until I unlock the door. Any suggestions?

    For the passenger side mirror, you can use a long nose and twist that plastic that hits the led on the bottom once you button everything up.

    I installed did all the wiring last night but didn’t install the leds because I was missing a small Phillips screwdriver. However I tested it and everything looked good

    Today I installed the led and now my driver side doesn’t work.

    I’m going to wait till tonight and do a few more test to see what’s going on.

    Yea, I checked everything and it all looked good. Does it matter which side the Y a pillar plug goes into? Does the driver side have to go on a certain side and vise versa? Unfortunately, I had to leave so couldn’t mess with it anymore, but hey one side looks good :thumbsup:

    I'm not 100% sure but I don't think it matters. Maybe I got lucky but I just plugged them in and the worked. On some of my connections I really had to add a little force to make sure they were connected. Especially the plug coming off the bulb. I also wrapped electrical tape around all connections where I could. Outside of that maybe a wire got damaged somewhere along the way. Good luck with it.
