w204FL side mirror lights aka puddle lights

[Jayson]

Recently i figured out how to replace ugly orange halogen puddle lights to white ones.so hope this info helps.

1: remove the mirror and wires connected to the mirror.

2: remove the 2 bottom black screw with an allen key.

3: use a chisel type small screw driver to pry open the cache on the bottom black cover where the bulb it.

4: pull out the bulb and replace it with desired bulb(i dunno if a canbus resistor is needed cos i use white (blue coated) bulb)

5: reverse the steps and fix but the mirror housing.

If any bros need more help with this diy mod can pm me. Hope this helps.

Dun quite understand on removal of mirror and wires. Believe this is the trickiest part of the removal work.

Maybe some picture illustration will be easier to understand

i went to a signage shop and "secretly" cut a few pieces of a variety of translucent blue, followed by some trial and errors, manage to make the yellow lights turn white.
