My replacement Puddle Light Lens covers fell off recently. Disappointed because they are less than a year old. I'm hoping these will last longer. Anyone else have these and if so, how are they?

I bought the same , but for some reason I pluged it in and they dont blink the way they should . The only thing i did was replacing the connectors ( old ones were rusted ) . But gauge are diferent . The new connectors wires are thicker. And thats the problem , I dont know if the relay is the problem or the connection of two diferent gauge.... I wonder if you can tell me about it
Thank you

I think on some there was an issue with the pin out on the plug of the new lamps. So you might need to move some wires around. Not 100% sure, but pretty sure that was an issue I read about these.

I picked up the AutoJoy Club Upgraded LED Side Mirror Sequential Dynamic Turn Signal Puddle Light
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0969KLWFF/
Took about 15 minutes to install, didn't have to remove the mirror glass and the sequential turns look good. The look well made. The puddle lights themselves are about the same brightness as the stocks ones though.

I bought a pair: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08V8Q277N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Had multiple problems. Basically the moulds were good but LH side plug in was moulded in reverse ie. alignment slot and lock tab were backwards compared to truck side plug. As someone else did I shaved the raised tabs off on truck plug, plugged it in got lights BUT in reverse order ie. puddle white lights blinked as turn signals, amber lights acted as puddle lights. The 3 pins are reversed! Solution, flip truck plug upside down. Also needed to trim off black plastic nub at the side fat end of lamp before it would snap in (maybe because it is cold here and mirror plastic did not want to flex much). Used a dremel cut off wheel. RH side plug lined up BUT again pins in lamp are reversed so repeated the process however pins pushed inside body of light, had to cut out the back piece below the connector to access interior of light and hold the ribbon connector and pins in place with a screwdriver while I inserted the truck plug. Sealed everything with rubber plumbers tape. Lights work but for how long? Between Amazon and the seller they refunded the purchase price and did not want the lamps returned so having nothing to lose I did all the above experimenting. No complaints about Amazon or the seller but Chinese manufacturers quality control was poor to say the least but the lights did fit and look good but who needs all the BS of trying to install these?

I bought and installed these vipmotoz on my 2010 sport to replace my originals that went out. My puddle lights work correctly but the blinkers blink intermittently and don't switch back.
