2014-2017 - DL3 Mirror: Dual Function Puddle Lamp & Turn Signal M

[pgamboa]

Inspired by the Diode Mod, I played around with some diodes and came up with this. The intent here is to make the puddles actually more functional at night. Factory operation is to turn on only at night with Key Fob Unlock, and door opening.

 

This mod makes operate as a turn Signal as well.

 

Enjoy!

I'll have a diagram and supplemental video showing how to perform this mod.

Sweet mod! Hopefully it includes a parts list? [emoji1417][emoji851]

Yup. (2) Diodes and (2) short wire runs since the diode leads are not long enough to make the connections in the BCM.

Basically, (2) diodes going into the puddle lamp circuit, stripe toward the Puddle lamp. Then the other end of the diode (wire to extend) hits the left and right turn signal circuits.

Looks like this for now. Will clean it up soon.

Phil,

 

Stop figuring out how to make all these electrical mods work correctly. You are making my wish list grow and grow!!

[emoji23] - it's what happens when the gears in my head start turning. I've got another mod I'm working on as well, but waiting on backordered connectors.

Whats nice about this mod... it'll only cost $2 for a couple of diodes, and a short wire. [emoji51]

Just an update on this one....

 

SO - While this function is cool, I had to revert. Since the Puddle Lamp circuit is one circuit that feeds both Driver/Passenger mirrors, they will both flash regardless of which signal is on. I was wondering why my driver side puddle lamp would flash when making a right turn. LOL. I guess in the excitement, I overlooked performing a full test.
