Or you could do what I have done and buy new L/R mirror units with the puddle lights in, fit them, replace the standard bulbs for the LED's suggested and connect/code them up to your current door modules. Just make sure that the door modules you do have will support puddle lights and you're onto a winner.
I started my little project thinking that I would have have power folding and puddle lights but soon discovered that you need new door controllers which seem to be very rare and very expensive! All I really wanted was the puddle lights, so thats what i settled for. If I find some door controllers in the future at a reasonable price I will get Eddie-NL to drop them in.

This is what iv done

Yeah I bought a set, trial tested them (they are plug and play)
Very bright units.. For some reason never fitted them so I can post them to you for £15 if you want them..

How do you know if your current door modules will support puddle lights? Is it clearly marked ont he module?

Any tips on fitting the replacement unit with more LEDs? I cant get them in as the bulb holder sticks out too far with these clipped in
