My 24 has black running boards that are hard to see at night parking on dark surfaces. Is there any way to add puddle lights that come on when the door opens?

The Ranger continues to surprise me. I never realized that there are no lights/reflectors on the door panels to alert oncoming traffic that a door is open. Every vehicle I have owned since my 70 MACH1 had at LEAST a reflector and almost all of them had a light connected to the courtesy lights. $42k for an XLT and I still get surprised by what is missing.

Did you end up doing anything? I thought all XLT and up trims had them, my 2025 XLT doesn't have them.

Yes I wound up doing a whole system of lights. I have 5 bed lights, 4 puddle lights and bed step lights all run to power from the battery. They are controlled by tiny remotes, 1 on my keychain, 1 in the bed or 1 in the little cubby to the left of the steering wheel. Ii
