New puddle light options

[jruck]

As an FYI for those getting these lights, 2 things…

There is a left and right side as denoted on the lights, they won’t seat well on the wrong side, but they have an “L” for the drivers side and an “R” for the passenger side.

I was having trouble getting the passenger side to seat and lock into place, after a while I compared the light that came out with the one going in, the one thing I noticed was the spring tab was sticking down a little too low on the end, once I saw that I simply used the screwdriver tip that came in the package to push up on the end of the spring load to flex it up slightly and she popped right into place.

After it gets darker I will spin the lens to straighten out the image on the ground and get some pics.

love the tips and tricks. Good looking out!

"L" refers to the left side of the vehicle, while "R" refers to the right side. In China, the driver’s side is on the left.

Ok, moment of truth and opinion. The lights were easy to adjust to whichever direction I wanted, ZR2 readable as you exit or as you approach the vehicle, NICE! Are they brighter than the stock units, yes, are they as bright as they look in pictures, no, these new cameras on our phones can take pictures in pitch black and make it look like it’s dusk out, so this picture looks brighter than they are in person. The first pic is on the asphalt driveway and it is fairly dark out with not much light around, the second pic is from the edge of the driveway in the grass with a light behind me which is a pretty bad picture but is representative. I like ‘em a lot!!!

Thanks @Mixander Xi !!!

Thank you, My brother

If you encounter the following issue while installing the puddle lights, here’s a solution: If the ZR2 logo is facing the wrong direction, you can rotate the white part to adjust its orientation.

There are currently five patterns available to choose from.

This might have been asked already. Will this also work for the 2500HD model? 2025 Bison

They will fit and work IF your truck has mirror puddle lights, I saw a 1500 ZR2 Bison with tow mirrors that had tow mirrors without puddle lights, not sure if it was ordered that way, put on at the dealership, or maybe put on by the owner, but my guess is that they are a lower trim tow mirror without the puddle lights.

Could you take two similar photos? I'll help verify if your vehicle model is compatible with puddle lights.

As long as you have the puddle lights, they should work. Normally, they can be directly replaced and used.

Currently, we're customizing ZR2 Bison and Trail Boss models. This is the monochrome outline version, still uncolored.

They did not fit my 2500 ZR2. I sent an email for a return. Darn wish they could have worked. Here are mirror photos

That’s wild, I know someone with the exact same mirrors, fit fine. They don’t just fall into place but a little upward force on the tang with the mini screw driver tip and they clicked right into place. Were they too big for the hole or?

The website maintenance is now complete, and you can proceed to view and place orders.

How did they not fit? Were they loose? They are loose enough in mine that the image will no longer be parallel with the truck.

That is also weird, they fit extremely well and tight in place on my truck, and a simple rotation of the clear lens has them lined up perfectly to the line of my truck and they haven't moved since, are you positive they are fully seated and latched into place?

From your profile photo of the white truck you have completely different mirrors. The 2500 hd mirrors look and are different underneath. I will try again. I bought the factory bow tie puddle lights months ago and they went right in no issues. I like these much better and will try again.

Yes, they are fully seated in place as you can’t really put them in any other way. Not sure what to say as for why they aren’t snug, they just aren’t.
