Default lights under side view mirrors

Does anyone know how to change the lights under the side view mirrors? does the panel just pop right off? If you have what bulbs fit?

i replied about the high power leds in the other post... perhaps a mod can consolidate these 2 threads?

as for the blue overlays on the headlights... i don't think they're street legal... not 100% sure tho.

the problem most people have with the puddle lamps (stock or LED) is not whether the bulbs are bright enough, but that they come on too late. By the time the lamps are fully on, you are already in the car, making the puddle lamps practically useless. The only exeception is when you unlock the door from a distance, using the remote; but that defeats the purpose of keyless entry.
