Default Puddle mirror light install

Got one on, but I'm looking for a simpler way to take on/off the other.

Has anyone done this with ease? If so, how did you do it? Post pics if possible

Its not that hard to remove the mirror face and remove the 4 or 5 screws to replace the bulb. Took me about 30 minutes to do both.

It actually seems harder than it really is.

just be cafefull as the new mirror now has four snaps .....you have to tilt mirrow up the way up and stick your fingers gently underneath and apply light presure evenly on the two bottom snaps and they will come out.....be patient and then when they pop out do the same for the top....after that theres four screws one in each corner and also a fifth screw that secures the signal in place.


Took me all of about 20 min to do both sides.

looks stock. typically nobody changes stock DRLs.

if you are talking about it being blue, its due to the low light environment.

There's a link to the DIY on one of the LED light threads. It links you to the GS, but Its exactly the same directions. I followed it and got it done. I have photos but haven't had time to upload them.
