I just installed these and they are definitely an upgrade. Keep it simple plug the new lights, hit the unlock button, if they don't light up switch the connections. No need to pull out the meter. Thanks for the video

Very well done video Sir. Saw another vid where the was like removing the mirror facing and drilling and stuff. Felt a little better after watching this one. Thanks

Nice explorer. One quick question have you had any water pump issues on your explorer? I see you have 84k miles on it.
@bigmann120 Жыл бұрын
@@rhurtadorh32 I think my engine is a newer one even though the miles are high at the time of this video. I’m going to think my miles are probably 30,000 less than what’s pictured. now I have 150,000+ miles on my car and still don’t have a problem with the water pump, at least not yet.

I bought these are exact puddle lights but in blue and they only come on for one second tried wired boths ways still only stay on for one second if not half a second
@kylevogt22405 жыл бұрын
if u hook the wrong ones could it short out your lights or will it just not turn on then you switch them. i dont have a cable tester
@bigmann1205 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure but my thought is the LED would just not turn on. I would not worry about the vehicles power side because its fused and possibly circuit protected. To be sure, just buy a cheap digital multi-meter from Harbor Freight Tools or Walmart. Turn on the lights and touch the red and black meter leads to the connections and read the meter. If there is a negitive (-) symbol on the screen, switch the colors around until you get no (-). The red will be positive and black will be negitive. hope this helps.

Why does my 2013 fusion titanium hyper flash after installing these I tried reversing polarity and still flashes any ideas all terminals are clean Oem bulb works perfect ?
@bigmann1205 жыл бұрын
Probably has something to do with the lack of a load these LED's produce. The Oem bulbs have more of a load. The Body control module (BCM) sees LED'S and thinks the light is burned out. You could try a load resistor or a capacitor wired across both terminals.

My puddle light keeps flicker now. I changed it to Red LEDs and whenever the puddle lights come on they flicker red, how do I make them solid instead?

You might have a loose connection. When I swapped mine out the female connection didn't make a snug connection. All you need to do is use a set of pliers to squeeze the connector together just a little so when you connect the male end it has a tight connection.

@bigmann1204 ай бұрын
WD40 and a wire brush for terminals. If the wire is hard, you'll have to change out the terminal and wire.

Talk to much. Just show how to do the changeout without excessive commentary.
@bigmann1204 жыл бұрын
You can always just scrub through the video if that works for you. Funny how everyone else appreciated the explanation and detail. I'm just trying to help you correctly install the puddle lights. If I talk too much there are millions of other videos on KZbin. Your negative comments are not needed here.
