Puddle lights you need the folding mirrors.

For the coming home lights your car needs to have the auto lights option  :happy2:

Yes on the puddle lights is just a bulb change, all you need is a small torx/star screwdriver, takes about 1 min to do  :happy2:

The ones I have are the 6 LED version here - http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/501-6-led-bulbs-c-611-p-1-pr-17741.html

You can get them cheaper (from the place you don't like) but these are good quality IMHO  :drinking:

Sorry for being dim STEVEP, but will these just plug and play with no resitors?

If so resistors......where and what.

The puddle lights will work without resistors and not throw a visible bulb out warning (like the side lights do) but an error is still logged if you check with VCDS.  :happy2:

You either need to buy the bulbs with the resistors built in or put your own load resistors across the two wires.  :happy2:

I personally have done the latter and used the aluminum encased resistors to help disperse the heat  :smiley:
