Installed puddle lights “Taycan”

[amelen]

Only did the front doors since I rarely have anyone in the back.

Ugh.. that seems like the best move, but I think it will bother me not having it on all 4 doors lol. I might have to get Style A for the front, Style C for the back? hmm

just checking, ambient lighting is essential for this? Is that correct?

A bit late to the thread… I just installed new lights on all four doors (Taycan logo). https://www.addcarlights.com/product/porsche-logo-door-lights/
I’m just posting this in case anyone else runs into the same problems I did.

My car is a 2022 base with ambient lighting. I don’t know if this will be true of anyone else’s cars, but in mine they didn’t ”just pop right out and right back in” like some of the installation videos say. The back ones really were that easy, but the front ones were a royal pain.

On attempting to pry each of the original front lights out, the red lens popped right off and then I had to get the white part out. I had enough trouble I initially wondered if they’d been glued in or I’d broken something (thankfully, apparently no to both). Getting the new ones back in was a struggle and it took a few minutes of messing around with them and a lot of cussing. The problem wasn’t with the lights themselves; comparing with the originals they were definitely the correct model.

You would not have had this issue with the PimpMyEV versions. These are stress tested.

The ones that broke apart were the originals (and I was able to snap them back together after pulling them out), not the replacements. So it probably wouldn’t have made much of a difference.

ETA: These also cost about half the price of the PimpMyEV lights.

My car is also a 2022 base with ambient lighting, I only replaced the front doors. It was pretty easy to popped them out. I also pop the original red lens off by accident, but took me few more seconds to pop the white body out. Install new lights were pretty effortless, too.

Dude, absolutely. You should buy from where your pocket allows, that is your democratic right.
