how do the puddle lamps in the mirrors come out, I want to swap the bulbs and tried a screw driver to get the lenses out but they just don't want to budge

Manual does not show these when i quickly looked Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Absolutely no idea at all , mine doesn't have them, (could only afford the GS), but looking in the manual it shows the lamps being mounted on the bottom of the doors (not in the mirrors) and they use a screw driver to prise them out. ______________________

I must admit I had not noticed that my '08 HSE has these puddle lamps. Should it?! When do they come on? Freelander 2 TD4 HSE auto Tonga Green/Alpaca

my SE has them on the mirrors and the underside of the front doors they come on when you unlock the car

@ CG

I can see on your picture a clip, which is the one i was going for, but it cracked instead  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Are you going to swap the bulbs fir LED's - then the street will light up when you unlock  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Is there not legal rules to follow here Like, following a car with its reversing lights on is pretty annoying for following cars  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

The trick is to use a blunt thin tool.. table knife... and prise against the clip behind the lamps face, as crudely demonstrated here. on the side of the light away from the car

thanks CG

Since i put the puddle lamp bulbs in the number plate i have run out of buld for the time been

@AndyC the bulbs are only illuminating the number plate, with a white light instead of yellow normal bulbs so i can't see a problem with them

I see if i can get a picture tonight  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thanks for the replies - I will look more closely and check I do have them when I get back to my car from the sunny southern hemisphere:-) Freelander 2 TD4 HSE auto Tonga Green/Alpaca

Yes some night shots will be fun to see

Puddle Lights:
Just had a look at my Puddle Lights (on a HSE model), because to be honest I had not noticed they were at the bottom of the front doors as well as the door mirrors (many thanks to Dave & Nick for that info) .

When unlocking and opening the front door the Puddle Lights in the door mirrors stay on for 1 minute, whilst the Puddle Lights in the bottom of the door, footwell lights and interior lighting stay on as long as the car is not started (well think there is a longer time limit to these)

If the car is just unlocked but the doors are not opened, the Puddle Lights come on, but the doors relock after 1 minute and at the same time the door mirrors fold inn and all Puddle Lights & interior extinguish. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
