Not speciliase lah!! Two ways to get it done!! Pry the mirror out or remove the side cover. Prying the mirror easy & chances of replacing a new pce is higher. Till now hv not try to pry open a side mirror cover anyone wants to let me try??

This light will be activated once detect a puddle of water. Is called puddle LED.

I believe this welcome light is for those models with keyless entry. When you go near the car with the keyless remote, it will light up the door to welcome you. This is similar to the Lexus I had.

Wrong theory doc! Mine no keyless also got led light! :becky:

Think the puddle lights provide lighting at night to see where you step as you exit the vehicle to avoid debris and puddles I like the nice warm light color..It's on FL w204 as well...

[Guest Pumper]

Wow! Didn't know my car has this light after driving for 1 yr plus! Haha!

[Guest Jarebbsg]

Yes. It is just a light. When u unlock or lock the doors, it will light up for mine. Dun have sensor.

[Guest meka]

Yup I tried to force but too tight, so gave up the idea cos dun want to spend money replacing the mirror. There must be a technique to get it out..

Adjust the side mirror all the downwards. From the gap, look for clips that is holding the mirror, if any.

[Guest chiaster]

Tried tilting the mirror to lowest point but still can't see any clip. Even can see also got difficulty reach between the small gap
