Answer
If you mean the lamps on the outside rearview mirror when you refer to "Puddle Lamps", their function should be an owner programmable feature. Access the vehicle menu in the cluster and you should find something like Headlamp delay. You should be able to adjust that time spec and I believe the procedure is outlined in your owners manual. Do not disconnect the positive battery terminal in an attempt to reset the vehicle memory. That could cause a voltage spike that could cause damage to the electronics of the vehicle. It would be better to disconnect the negative terminal to perform a reset on any module that would recognize that procedure.
