Another LED puddle light review
I bought these from ebay:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/111529871035?...84.m1497.l2649
To put them in, I decided to remove the two outer mirror screws, but it seemed like removing the lower outer screw was all that was needed as the bottom plastic housing is flexible so that you can bend it out to remove the puddle light:
Here is a video. I think a video shows the real brightness vs than what's shown on a photo:
Can anyone with VLed flanks tell me if yours is brighter?
Looks like there are 6W Osram flanks on ebay now. I wonder how bright those are.

Basically all I did was press the mirror switch to expose the screws behind the mirror corners one at a time. Then use a long philips screw driver to take the screws out. Lastly, use a credit card to help separate the housing.

Can anyone with VLed flanks chime in to let me know if their VLEDs are brighter?
Also, any comments are welcome!

Just put a pair of VLEDs in about 2 weeks ago (replaced a cheap ebay set) and they are much brighter, they look pretty similar to the ones you have installed. The specs say 210 LM vs 160 for the VLEDs so I'd say yours are a little brighter, the VLEDs look whiter though. As for the installation, takes about 5 minutes if you've done it before, 10 if you haven't.

If anyone is going to replace the puddle lights soon, please see if you can measure what the max. length of bulb is that would fit into the housing. Thanks!

So you are saying that i don't need to remove the mirror glass from the housing? I've seen some videos of how remove it and you have to pull very hard and i'm afraid i could break something.
