I’m totally serious! I’m not making this up! I don’t get the reference to the panther. I’ve googled everything (and every kind of cat that it might be), I’ve read the window sticker line by line and no reference at all.
Your car is one of one, I would keep it that way.

Mistake likely made by the side mirror vendor because I don't think the Cuautitlan factory makes anything other than Mach-Es.

There are themes in the Sync programming. I saw the list somewhere. I don't think the puddle lights are affected by the different themes though. ???

But I want them to be an OTA update so I can choose the image based on my mood. Ponies, pumas, puppies (for you @HuntingPudel ), piranha, porcupines, even an animal that doesn’t start with a P. Just hope that Ford doesn’t make it a subscription for them. $5.99 for a month of puppies! ;)

Heh, kind of like my 1969 Coupe de Ville with the double-wall box frame for the convertible was. That was one heavy car. LOL. ?‍♂?

Two options here:

take it to the dealer to get it fixed and join the other 50,000 of us with pony lights. Or

Keep it and market it as an exclusive one of a kind “feature” at trade in time.

I want to know how you keep your puddle lights on that long. Mine - when they decide to come on - last for about 30 seconds.

Wrong insert from the factory. Interesting. Surprised it made it on both sides. Wonder how many are like that out there. You can get new inserts though I’m not sure how hard they are to replace.

The early s550 mustangs had problems with the inserts where the horse would start to look really fat over time. My 2016 still work fine surprisingly.

Maybe found a reference to a Ford PUMA? (Not a panther).
The Ford Puma (European vehicle) does have puddle lights with the puma! Somehow I got one of those on my Mach-e.
