CLS53 Puddle Lights?

Gosh this sounds elementary...but before I go popping pieces off my wife's car, I want to be certain I'm headed in the right direction. I want to install puddle lights on the sideview mirrors. I've looked at a dozen different Youtube videos but none seem exactly like what I'm seeing. Any pointers? I'm assuming we don't have a huge institutional knowledge base to work from, but perhaps a different model uses the same sideview mirrors and replacement would be similar? TIA

Did you not have the OEM ones? The cover just pops off. Just exercise some patience with it. If I recall it slides outward (away from car) and to the rear. (Note the signal light in the mirror connected point is fixed so when you slide the cover off the connecter disconnects).

I ordered mine from here (OEM replacement):

The style of the light depends on if you have the 360 cameras or not.

The design I chose:

Perfect. Thanks so much! Yes, all OEM. I'll take a swing at it.

What are the lights you have installed inside the door handles? Did you do that yourself and can you share a link?

Also, thanks for sharing the link to the puddle lights, very helpful!

I think they could be a factory option. I just bought a 2019 and it has these lights.
