DIY: Puddle Lights

Hi everyone... i've already change all internal lights to LED white, glove box n trunk lights to LED blue... but I wanted to change the puddle lights but I have no idea how... its not even in the manual book given when i bought the car (it only says that it is complicated)... does anybody have the diy for changing the puddle lights? Thanks in advance...

Hmm user shazbot28 had a group buy going but it ended a while ago. He was thinking of starting a new one here

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/big-willy-puddle-lights-175886/

looks like he hasn't signed on in over a month though :/. On that note I don't know if his puddle lights would work on the new models. If you can figure out how to take your mirrors apart I don't see why you couldn't get some 194 sockets and fab them into the side mirrors, run some wires through the door then bingo.

Does your car have factory puddle lights? if so I think you can just get some bulbs and swap them. rx8strakes has some.

If you can pop the clear plastic protector out, you can swap them. Otherwise I guess you'll have to pull the mirror off.
