Got mine on and verified they worked.
Pretty easy. The main differences in the IS instructions is that all four corners pop off and there isn't any lifting needed.
Also there are five screws in total you need to remove.
One they are gone the side mirror assembly just pulls apart in your hands.

Lights look great and if I ever have a mirror break I'll know its a DIY fast 5 min job once you have the parts.
I did find it strange that the driver side mirror had some white "goop" in four places to help hold the mirror in place while the passenger side did not.
However, it didn't appear to have much difference in operations once everything was but back in place.

Changed my '14ES puddle lights to LEDs today and can add a couple of more notes for others who may want to do this.
First there are 5 screws holding the mirror assembly together but you only need to remove 4 of them. The lower screw closest to the window can remain and the painted cover will still come off. Secondly when you start re-assembling things, remove the lower black cover from the painted cover and install the black cover first. It will help hold the lights in place while you slide painted cover on. The black cover is held by two small clips that will grab the painted cover as it slides on.

Mine also had the "goop" on the drivers side clips. I am guessing its to prevent vibration if the clips should ever loosen up. I used T10 x 20 SMD lamps I already had on hand from my interior light upgrade project.

Edit: Finally got to see them all in action last night after the James Taylor concert They do look much better than the stock lights .
