Default Side Mirror LED

I bought some iJDMtoy LED's a while back and I never got to installing my side mirror puddle lights because I can't get the darn light out of the housing. I have a 2010 ISF, did the casing change for that year ? I removed all possible screws and tried yanking the puddle light out of the housing but it's not doing anything. Anyone have pictures or any info on this?

LOL i saw this too but the last picture shows that the puddle lamp can be accessed right there, but for me the puddle lamp has a housing behind and in front of it which makes it lodged in.

the middle of the puddle light has a clip
i found it easiest to look underneath and stick a flat head up the opening to where it clips on and unclip it with the screwdriver as i pulled up

I had the same issue as you

you prob have a 2010 like me where the housing is in the front and back, like other memebers said, get a flathead and stick it up towards the sky from the very bottom of the side mirror. look at the provided pic, and push the flathead towards you then you have to yank the bottom part out. good luck LOL.
