Great write-up! When I ordered my '14, the puddle lights were a "must have" (as was virtually every other option ). Numerous people have asked me about them in parking lots over the last year...
Just a tip to keep the projector images nice and sharp- when washing the car, put a piece of blue painter's tape over the lens of each projector. Most of the problems associated with these lights is from water making it up into the unit when the car is being washed. Mine are (knock on wood) still nice and sharp after a year and a half.

Mod completed - thanks for the write-up Joshua and tips.
Got mine from Tousley a while back - finally got around to it!
As others have pointed out - just take your time with the covers (I did not want to scratch and also have Xpel film on them - did not want to mess up either). Once I released the top three tabs, then released the bottom and pulled straight back turned out to work best on mine.
And the end result is...cool - just cool!
Can the bulb be replaced if they do go out? Part number? Mine is not a DD so hopefully might be awhile before replacement is needed.

Holy crap, they're LED and they're blowing out that often? I assumed they were incandescent based solely on how often you were changing them. Are you sure you don't have a voltage irregularity in that circuit? I don't know if I'd expect quality LEDs to burn out for at least a couple years, longer if they really only come on with the dome light.

bringing this back from the dead.
can someone tell me what this LED bulb for the projector lights is? is it something cheap that can be upgraded to a better bulb?
also, being a noob at this (my electrical skills are limited to changing light bulbs, and even that can be a stretch after it took me 2 hours to swap out a single OEM HID bulb), can someone tell me what "SJB" is? and is there a specific thread somewhere here or on the net that would help someone like me with a 2011 GT premium that dosen't have plug and play?

I'm also going on my third set of pony lamps. Over time they distort due to water intrusion and the displayed image looks like the horse is running through water until its just a blob. Thankfully the dealer has replaced them each time for no cost.

Here is the link to the OEM lamp itself.

Hope this helps. You can certainly get them cheaper through the supporting dealers.
