Personally , no.But when TFC was over fitting the Webasto FBH's he found that I had the wiring & bulbholders fot the footwells present but tucked back up.I presume by puddle lamps you mean lighting to the U/S of the door pockets ?
Shouldn't be all that hard.Even if the wiring wasnt present you could probably tap and fish a wire from the footwell lighting & buy the lenses & lampholders.

Puddle lights are great  ..but it's a bit of a pain having to find some puddles to light ...especially in the summer  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

 DG, you can be so daft sometimes. Why do you think they have such large bottle holders in the doors? Yup, so you can make your own puddles when you stop, then use the puddle lamps to help you avoid them I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Footwell lighting in a defeaner kevi could still be called puddle lighting 
ND personally I think they should be called dogsh!t lighting ...as I don't mind getting my feet wet in a puddle ...but I hate standing in dogsh!t 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Hi
I retro fitted the lights in the footwells with little hassle at all - not sure about the ones on the bottom of the door but the door card is easy enough to remove if you wanted to have a fish about and see what wires are where etc.
Got the lights off TLO - 5 minute job.
Edit: Not getting the lights off Nick...he's very busy ...all the time....so he tells us anyway  A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

Only involved a few bits to be pulled and dragged and also a few  and job done
.
if you have a feel about you'll notice where the lights should be.
I cant recall exactly but I think the pass. side you have to drop down the glove box as if accessing the fuse box - youll see the plug tied up hopefully - on the drivers side youll have to pull down the panel under the steering wheel and pull down the panel where the gap is for the light to pop in. A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

This is exactly the kinda thing that completely F KS me off about LR
The build a class machine in the D3
and then get all arsey about what spec gets what feature
and then at the back of it all you find its in the machine but just tied up so you cant use it coz you were a tight git and only paid for a 'S' spec

Sounds like the line from a song 
In older models they tended to leave bits attached to the loom which made upgrades easier...not so straightforward nowadays though 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
