Lights in Wing Mirrors?

Are there two types of RRS wing mirrors out there - one With and one without lights in the underside of them?

Yes. In North America, S/C models have puddle lights under the mirrors, HSEs don't. P!sses me off to no end.

My FL2 SE has them on the mirrors and the doors

Need to change the bulbs to LEDS to make them brighter though.

If the electrical connectors are pre run, could you get a sealed LED spotlight and do a DIY fitment or see how much a replacement set are and swap them

The first lot of SC's had the puddle lights on the mirrors. Not sure if that is still the case.
All the others had the lights inside the bottom of the doors. I prefer it that way so that you can see what you are stepping into. But each to their own. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

Josh you have a point there, S/C is now an HSE or HST spec car whereas when it was launched it was a seperate spec of it's own! I don't think I'll be going to the bother of changing a set of mirrors just to get a puddle light under the cowling as well as under the door though. As you say the ones under the doors are good enough. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
