Default change side mirrors puddle lights

I ordered a led kit and I'm going to change all the interior and the puddle lights to led... I was wondering if someone had a guide in order to change the puddle lights since I have no idea how to do it!

Great video, wish I had it when I did my lights. As for the footwell lights, I was able to change them without removing the plastic cover, just took some wiggling on the floor lol

Wish I had that video too when I did mine too. I had to google multiple videos and installation instructions when I did mine lol. The LED lights, especially the mirror puddle lights, make a big difference. Definitely an upgrade you must do imo.

If you're going to put LEDs in your interior overhead lights, I can recommend this set very highly. They're expensive, but they are fantastic. Don't use the sticky tape, just set them in above the lenses and they are good to go. Super bright, and the LED pattern is marvelous - my most favorite mod.

This was the first mod I did to my car and I love them. The patterns fire doors open and over head lights are different and it looks great. This is how the cars should be.

I changed my LED lights and it looks awesome. I used the 8K LEDs.

The only one i have not changed are the "Reverse Lights". I don't know the part number for the LED lights and what brand is best.

Thanks for the video, been looking for something like that to figure out the mirrors!

I just did mine a couple weeks ago and ordered some awesome lights off of Amazon. I spent $33 and did the whole interior and the reverse lights. Now I'm just debating when to venture and do the puddle lights...scared to break the mirrors

Can anyone tell me if you have swapped out the puddle lights on a 2016 ES 350? It doesnt look like it comes apart like others I ve seen. Thanks in advance.
