Try that link. I heard it's the same for the 3is.
Thanks mrtriad! I actually went home after work and did each mirror in ten minutes! To anybody wondering and wanting to do this, there are no clips u need to press. Just tilt the mirror all the way up and pull out towards you. You will need a bit of force and it will feel like you're breaking something but don't worry, it will pop straight out. Don't be nervous and give it a little force. After u pull off mirror, remove 5 screed and don't remove the front cover but instead remove the rear housing and it will expose the light and be really easy to put back together.

you sure you got the 5smd led bulbs? yours look way brighter than mine.... Also, were the bulbs in the foot well harder to pull out? I can't seem to pull them out.

On the driver side, go under and take out the 2 screws to remove the panel. It's much easier once the panel is off and you can get to the socket. Otherwise, it's near impossible to pull on the bulb even if you're a yoga guru.

You can access the passenger side without taking the panel off.

If you don't want to mess with unscrewing things and taking things apart, all you need is a little patience and wiggling.

It took me about 10 mins per each footwell light to get them off. Use a towel or if you have any rubber strips, that helps with grip. Just pull and wiggle them out. Just don't squeeze too hard because they are made of glass.

Thanks. Yea. I tried a microfiber towel to help with grip but still no success. The opening is a little small too for fat fingers

This is how I got the footwell bulb out:
Get a piece of blue painters tape (other tapes may work too if you don't have painters tape). Wrap the sticky side around the glass part of the bulb that's stuck in the socket, but leave a short length of tape hanging down. Pull down on the hanging tape, the bulb should come out easily.

Thanks! That's a great idea. Will try when I get home from work

I don't know what the policy is for posting links to ebay. I'm too lazy to read it.

Here it is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301014756087...84.m1497.l2649

It was given to me by another user. Highly recommend it! I bought the Xenon White version, the brightness is perfect for me. Not too bright. Just a bit more than OEM but with pure LED white.

Are these just plug and play for the dome lights?
