Brabus-style puddle lights on 5.0- okay or not okay?

[rachelanne4579]

Now, before you go get your flame-thrower :burn: and bust down my front door, just give me a minute to explain. I do not condone any of that nasty underglow JDM crap on such fine machinery; I am simply wondering if it could be done class-ily (yes, I just made up my own word :coolman: Deal with it). I only want it as a puddle light when the doors open and when the car is unlocked. This website has these for $39 in xenon white (I am definitely not getting the blue.....)

Okay, now just give me a second to put on my bulletproof vest and fire-retardant suit..............

I believe it only part of the premium package.

Well..... I did not know that. That makes me feel better. I was really iffy about it but was sure I could make it look classy.

I don't think it would look too bad. Just do white, and only when the doors open like you said, and it'll look good.

Exactly. I really just want it more as a practical thing, but it definitely has a cool factor to it, too. There's a fine line between updating and just going full retard on it.

For those who do have puddle lights, you might want to check these out. Kind of pricey but pretty cool.

I will say this....I am damn glad it did not come on the shelby

I'm OK with the plain white light on the bottom of the rear view mirror, not any lighting that is under the body.

And I'm not that thrilled with logo lighting, at all.
Maybe a Hi-Rez projected naked woman image, but not the damned horsey.

Id just be happy with a couple lights under the door to illuminate the ground. Not some pony or raptor logo. Thats a bit cheezy

Haha you are right about that !! There's a lot of "full retard" cars in the Houston area LOL!!!

Seems to me that those kind of puddle lights, and the logo ones, are just for looks and don't really do much.

My BMW 335i had puddle lights underneath each door handle and light up the entire sides of the car when you unlocked the doors with the remote. It was an awesome feature that made navigating a dark garage much easier and I really miss that since I sold it.

We've actually had a Brabus edition come into the dealership where I work and those puddle lights actually do light up the ground area nicely; the photos that show them are extremely modified so you don't really get the full effect as you do in person. But yeah, the logo ones I don't really see being super beneficial.

ghey as ****

No. Leave this stuff to the luxury guys.

I could see the appeal but to me it's somewhat corny

This is why I'm running it by y'all first. Need to make sure I don't do something horrible. I'm so on the fence about it...... I like it, but I'm worried about how it will affect the seriousness of the car. Maybe I could find a kit for the puddle light in the door or mirror? That would still give me what I want..
