Bit of PSA here: Please wrap your connectors in electrical tape when you switch to these or any other lights that come with wires, instead of the tabs that jut out of the light like the original!! It's not an issue on the factory lights, because the tabs are held in place, apart from each other by the housing of the light, but now that the connections are at the end of cables, the two of them can come into contact and create a short circuit, which will cause your fuse to pop, and may even damage your battery if you're unlucky.
I bought these and they only lasted me 2 weeks and then they stopped to work but I took them out and I connected them to a battery and they still work but they don’t work on my truck do you know what could be wrong?
@@trick5438 If I had to guess, and I'm no expert here, I'd guess that maybe the fuse popped in your truck, have any other lights stopped working, the power mirrors? I'd check your truck's owner's manual for the layout of the fuse box and see if any of them have a label that might refer to the mirror puddle lights, or power mirrors. Maybe the puddle lights have their own exclusive fuse, more likely they share it with something else. But sometimes fuses can be very specific, so it's best to check your fuse box, since I doubt that it's anything else if both puddle lights stopped working at the same time, but work when tested outside of the truck. Good luck!!
Couple of things wrong with the install. First, bare connectors are touching -- they need a wrap of electrical tape, or one or both wires need tied so that they cannot touch. A simple, loose half-hitch in one wire would shorten it enough to separate the connectors. And the spades were so loose they could disconnect spontaneously. Why have needle nose pliers on your tool list if you aren't gonna use them? Carefully pinch the female connectors to tighten them up. Alternatively, gently add a slight bend to the male. Either way, they should connect more snugly.
