LEDs in the mirror courtesy lights?

Anyone do this? I am referring to the light that shines on the ground next to the car. If so how in the heck do you change the light?

No they are literally in the mirrors and shine down.....small square lens and shine when all of your "courtesy" lights turn on.

I have changed mine about 3 months ago.... really easy to do! You have to take mirror apart to get to them. I must say it looks really good tho with the LEDs in.

What type of bulb did you use, and do you have the step by step on how to do it?

I printed a step by step off this website about 4 months ago. Do a search on taking apart side mirrors. As far as the LEDs I used they were square looking. let me see if i can find them and post a pic.

Thanks for the update. Those are the same bulbs I used for my city lights so that shouldn't be a problem. I'll try searching for the thread on how to remove them. Roughly how long did it take to get them apart?

hey vick, if u order a set of those bulbs can u order me a set as well?
ive always wanted to change those puddle lights to LEDs.
if possible it might be better to find an led that also has a bulb facing straight down.

now we just have to find that thread on taking apart the mirrors.
