I found a couple on ebay that feature the Growler. They claim to use a laser and don't look like just an LED shining through a lens with the logo. They both offer free shipping from China

Quite a bit more expensive than Aliexpress vendors but I suppose there is something to be said for the protection that buying on ebay with Paypal in case there are any problems. In either case we aren't talking about a lot of money.

The first one looks identical to one of the two sets I have already tried, where both lost all red colouring after just a month or so.

Popped in the supposedly fading growler lights. I like the way they look. Only downside is that they feel weaker than the super strong LEDs I had in before. Not that I ever need any more ground illumination than these provide, but the LEDs I had also contributed to lighting up the pretty dim cabin a bit. Waiting to get the other growler lights from aliexpress and will see if they look better.

Removing plug from harness?
Hi, have a set of door puddle lights to install. 2019 F type convertible. I was able to remove light from bottom of door panel. I cannot seen to dislodge the existing light from the wire harness? I do not see a clip to press as removing? Help please! How does the wire come out of the harness? Thanks. Pic or video would be so appreciated.

Most after-market puddle lights including the latest type in this thread come with an extra lead, one that is a little longer than the OEM lead, to make it easier to connect the new light. It has the same pair of thin "prongs" on the other end so to swap leads you pull that end out of the car and put the other lead in.
The steps are:
1. Flip the old light down.
2. Pull the wire and the plug on the end out of the light housing.
3. Put that plug and wire into the new light housing.
4. Clip the new housing into place - plug/wire end in first then clip the other end in.
5. If you want to or need to, swap the wires over - between steps 2 and 3 - by pulling the original wire out of the car harness and replace it with the new wire. Again simply pull it out, two small prongs on the end, but make sure you pull the connecting wire out of the door a little way first to allow access, it has just enough slack to do this.

Update on mine - now a good year later they're faded and look pretty crap. Can't say that they've been used a lot, only when entering the car and cleaning. Time to look for some others.
