Default Door Handle Puddle Lights

Does anyone know how to replace these? The one on my drivers side door does not work anymore. No big deal but if it was an easy process thought I would take care of it.

Thanks

Greg

You might want to give these a try. I get compliments on them all the time:

From one Greg to another.
I also went with the brighter Audi logo lights a while back.
You just need to use a flat screwdriver to gentle pry the light housing out of the bottom of the door and then disconnect the wiring.

Thanks for the info. I think adding "puddle" to the title was a little misleading. I was hoping to find more info about the little lights at the base of the outside door handles. Any idea about those?

Those are LED assemblies, with a connector. You will need to remove the door handle to access and replace the assembly. The only special tool you need is a hook tool with a handle, but it looks like a small flat head screwdriver will do. It also appears that you can replace just the bulb, but it's not entirely clear.

I know someone replaced/changed the door handle LEDs. IIRC they increased the power to really light them up. I couldn't find the thread. I did find this early thread about the LEDs.

I also found this eBay auction selling new LEDs.
