If you use search, there are plenty of DIY for puddle lights. It is a pretty easy DIY .

if you tilt the mirror all the way up you can reach your fingers under the glass on the bottom and pull the mirror glass out of the housing. it is held in by some little clips. don't be afraid you won't break it.

once you get the glass out you will see a few screws that are very blatant to drop off the front of the mirror cover.

you will then have access to the puddle lights. very simple 5-10 min tops
