WARRANTY! Take it to Ford, tell them the holders are corroded due to water condensation and they will replace them for free.

Ck yeah thats fine ill need replacements for the bulbs. Did u manage to install the resistor on the switchback?

Canadian... Ive done 105,000kms on the car would it still be under warranty? I do have rust proof warranty maybe that might cover it?

WTF!? In two years you've done 100+ KM ?? I thought I was bad, an 06 with 93k :\

That may or may not be covered under warranty. You could argue that they need to replace it under corrosion warranty since I think that is 5 year / unlimited KM's.

Lolll yeahh drive alot. The thing is last time it happened i bought new parts instead of changing the whole housing i just replaced the plastic where the bulb goes instead of the whole socket water keeps getting through there. Yeah gonna go to the dealer this week and get it fixed.

Do the puddle lamps just light up the side of the car when entering and exiting? Do you know if the power is also tied in to the mirror's motor and if it'd be possible to "add-in" these? (buy side mirrors from an sel or sport)

Mine also have the BLIS.. Im sure theres more to it than just swapping.. theres probably harnesses and the whole 9.. :dunno: The puddle lamps light up when the car is unlocked..or doors opened.. they shut off after 20-30 seconds, when the parking lights would normally turn off after hitting unlock.

Not yet.. its been in the 30's ever since.. Im waiting to have a nice afternoon to install them.. Go to www.autolumination.com and go to 194 section.. they are halfway down the page... theres no direct link, sorry.

Ah ok, thanks.

This has to be one of the best write ups with pictures I have ever seen. This saved me so much time, and was able to replace my bulbs in almost no time. Thanks!
