Puddle Lights

Shop 785 puddle lights for car doors and side mirrors. Each listing names the makes, models and model years it is made for, so you can match the light to your vehicle before you order.

What puddle lights are

Puddle lights are small lights in the bottom of the doors or under the side mirrors that light up the ground when you unlock or open the car, so you can see where you are stepping. Many replacement puddle lights are LED projectors that also shine a logo or design onto the ground.

Door vs. mirror puddle lights

  • Door puddle lights sit in the lower edge of the door panel and usually replace the factory courtesy light.
  • Side mirror puddle lights sit under the mirror housing and light the area beside the car, common on trucks and SUVs.

How to choose

  • Match the make, model and generation in the listing. Housing shapes change between generations.
  • Check whether your car already has factory puddle or courtesy lights. Plug-in replacements need the factory socket.
  • Pick the design you want projected, where the listing offers several.

Fitting

Most direct-fit puddle lights pop out of the door or mirror with a plastic trim tool, unplug, and the new light plugs into the same connector. No wiring is needed when the car has factory lights in that spot.

Puddle Lights FAQ

Do puddle lights need wiring?
Not usually. Direct-fit puddle lights plug into the factory courtesy light connector. If your car has no factory light in that spot, extra wiring is needed.
Will puddle lights fit any car?
No. They are made for specific makes, models and generations, because the housing shape differs. Check the fitment in the listing.
What are door logo projector lights?
LED puddle lights with a small lens that projects a logo or design onto the ground when the door opens.
