My mirrors don't have the puddle lights - just a blank cover plate.

Blacklr: Just wondering if you might consider posting a tutorial with photos (if you have them) and parts numbers for us? I really like what you've done.

Read the manual on the dismantling & replacement of the bulbs. Some of the LED requires canbus, such as drivers footwell & front door puddle lamps. They are T10 or W5W LEDs. Hope this helps.

greats, just shout out if needs more information. Also do take note that the interior front reading map bulbs the polarity is reversed. So u needs to confirm with your supplier before getting a set. I didn't know till I try to install it & didnt won't works. Also blown the fuse couple of times during installation. The fuse is located at the passager footwell area, check yr manual ya!! Is anyone here got this polarity issue too?

any chance you could give us the spec of the bulbs you used for the interior and exterior, and where you got them from, they look very bright and all matching.
