Default Changing puddle lights

Hey guys, I am wanting to attempt the puddle light mod this weekend, part of me is excited and part of me is very nervous. Has anyone done this on there car? How hard is it and do you guys have any tips?

Guess I have the wrong person.

You've both done the swap? Any last minute tips would be awesome I did watch the precision led video for the 3IS he made it seem pretty straightforward. And can you guys post pics of your led puddles?

Prepare yourself mentally for the possibility of breaking a $370 piece of glass. Once the mirror is loose, it is fairly easy after that.

I don't think I ever saw where anyone said it was difficult. Just a chancy mod as there is a good possibility of breaking the mirror if not removed correctly.
Glad you were able to get the change made easily.

Yea I maybe worded it wrong. But anyways I looked at diy over and over and watched the precision led video. And did it according to the video. The pry tool is sooo helpful.
