To get to the puddle lights on the side mirror....
-Use a flat screw driver wraped in a terry towel. Gently pop off the mirror from the bottom. Only the bottom portion will come loose, and will allow you to have room underneath. Then take the flat screw driver and push down on the tab inside holding the plastic cover of the puddle light. It should pop out with a lil elbow grease. Just reverse to put everything back together. Its a 194 wedge bulb :thumb:

I got mine at autolumination.com, and sorry man, I didn't take pics when I put them in, but trust me, its really easy, just press the top of the mirror in so the bottom sticks out, then if you look inside you can see a little gray tab, just press that in and then take a screwdriver and wrap it in a towel so you don't scratch anything and pry off the side of the clear plastic lens that is closest to the mirror

Thanks alot got56ry. you can also get the led lights on eBay. One more quick question when you install the led light does the light still fade away like the halogen bulb?
