Nice job

How is the longevity of these lights ? And any problem with individual lights "burning" out ?

Are they water proof ?

They are weatherproof. I had a set on my previous truck for about a year before I sold the truck and had no problems..

Nice job , I might do this

I have done the same thing with a minor tweak. I use the same lights, tapped into the same foot well light wire. I mounted mine behind that pinch weld on the flat spot so that the lights are shining down in the ground.
Not the best shots but all I have right now

Doing mine just like this.

Perhaps I am just being too picky but since you tapped into the footwell lights for the power supply, don't the puddle lights also turn on when you turn on your dome light? perhaps not too big of a deal when parked but could be interesting if you turn on the dome light for something while traveling down the road at night, and potentially get you a ticket in some states.

Yes. They do turn on if you use your dial to turn on dome lights.
I never had the need to turn the dome light on while driving using the dial. If someone in the truck needs a light while driving they turn on the passenger side map light or the rear dome light.
Light...or no light... the police could stop you for distracted driving.
