they're pretty simple to change, theres a screw by the lense and the bulb just requires swapping over! have a look under the mirror and you'll see it!

I can't remember the place I got mine from so someone else will have to help on that!

Yep easy to change and any other W5W fitment will work.

LED bulbs will work to as there is no 'Bulb out' feature on the puddle lights!  :happy2:

^^^ I have just found it does show up as a fault when scanning with VCDS so it might confuse your dealer when you go for a service  :smiley:

You can buy LED's with the resistance in now.  I have them in my numberplate lights, footwell and door puddle lights.
