Puddle light Enable

I've got an 18 XLT that I added power fold mirrors,I upgraded the door harnesses an modules but when I enabled the puddle lights with forscan they came on but were very dim.I tried the code for led and regular bulb but it didn't matter they are always dim.Has anyone else ran into this issue before?I did get the Lincoln auto fold option to work but ran into troubles with the puddle lights.I haven't tried to enable the spot lamps yet.Any help is appreciated

How dim is “dim”? They aren’t going to be bright like fog lights, of course. Maybe stop at a dealer and see how bright they are on trucks in the lot as a comparison to yours.




I have them on a 2019 Explorer and don’t see much benefit to them; only noticed them looking at the mirror as opposed to seeing a lit up spot on the ground.

they are barely light up.I work at a dealership and know how bright they should be and these aren't anywhere near as bright.but if you run 12v to the light they shine bright.
