they come on every time you open the door, regardless of if the engine is running or not. You will be fine buying any L.E.D bulbs (in the correct fitment) off fleabay as like the others have said they dont throw a light up warning. I bought some cheapy ones and they never miss a beat and look spot on

Scott, how do you get to the bulbs in the mirrors? Do you have to take much apart to get at them?
I just had a quick look at the car expecting to find a small screw holding on the cover but it seems not.

iirc you fold the mirror back towards the front of the car and there is a screw holding the bulb unit in place, just take the screw out and pull that sucka out

Any pics available, I'm about to fit my puddle light versions of the mirrors, and can't see any screws  :confused:

Thumbs up for Scott telling me to push the mirrors forward past their natural position and the screw is visible

I never knew that the mirrors folded forwards as well

Hi howard i bought the cheap ones off of ebay(thanks for the link) :happy2: but to be honest i didn't think they lit up the area very well,they are good for a quick fix to get rid of the horrible yellow ones i had,but after finally getting my led ones working there is no comparison.

cheers
