What is the actual purpose of puddle lights, are they purely cosmetic ...?

Had my mirror caps sprayed, but wasn’t happy with the mirror base and trims so wrapped them in gloss black... tricky!

Re: What did you do to your van today?
I hear you @gazza31112 
I’m gonna get some serious stuff done when this is over !!

Powerflex bushes, and big brakes upgrade I think
I even felt guilty going out to do it. The guidelines apparently say that you shouldn’t be really doing stuff like washing your car, as it’s not essential. Where it changes is, that if you’re an essential worker, you can maintain your vehicle, and ensure Windows and lights are clean and appropriate for use on the highways. I’m one of those, so will be using her Golf to travel to work. Poor old Caddy just sitting looking pretty

I no mate, bad really Iv been working on the van ever since all this started, it's parked pretty much out of the way, so I don't really see the harm of it! If it wasn't for my van I would have gone crazy by now!

They light up the floor so you don't step into puddles. . But yeah, more for lookstonyhill wrote:What is the actual purpose of puddle lights, are they purely cosmetic ...?

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Some great work going on people!! Here’s my effort from today!!

I need to go out in a bit, now it’s dark, and adjust them as best I can.... then tidy up the wiring, as mine aren’t the final production model.... they look amazing though, and although took me most of the day to do, I’d never taken the bumper off the caddy, so wanted to take my time.... is there a thing as time now? It doesn’t seem like it!!
