Blown Side Mirror Puddle Lights?
Tonight I realized that as I approach my car, the interior front and rear domes light up, but the side mirror puddles do not. I remember they used to, but I don't know when they stopped working.
Any ideas? Is it likely that both sides' light bulbs are blown? If so, I am considering swapping them out for LEDs.

If both bulbs are indeed blown, I recommend: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...68086-1-3.html (they have 5000K, blue and other colors as well).

I got my 6K LEDs today and installed both of them. However, they still did not light up. I checked all the colorful fuses and they seemed to be fine. Any other ideas? Did I check the wrong fuses?

I had read about having to pull it out, so I tried that, too. Neither side worked. Also, I think the VLEDs work both directions. I could be wrong... :[
I've scheduled a diagnostic with a dealership and will go try an autoshop before then. Thanks for all the feedback!

So after I brought my car to the dealership, I learned that the side mirror puddle lights can be turned off! /facepalm
I'm not sure when or how mine were turned off, but it does not matter now. When he showed me that they working, I saw the full glory of my 6K LEDs. They look sooo good!
They fixed it for free (but my car also had a bunch of other things that needed to be fixed, see this thread).
