I like this idea, no new modules required. Can be done to the door light as in 1st post here, might give it a go.

Hi all,
I just finished installing my own puddle lights since buying 2005.5 mirror assemblies is much too costly. The way I did it cost less than 30 bones!
I couldn't find the correct pin on the door control module for the puddle lights (even though it would accept the code via vag-com)... So I just ran my own wire to connect into the footwell light circuit.
I used a 6 LED WHP module from SUPER BRIGHT LEDS - LED Lights & Accessories
Drilled a 1" hole in the lower panel of each mirror,
Epoxy'd a piece of CD_ROM jewel case and Silicone'd the LED behind the lense... (Waterproof)
Got my 'ground' connection by soldering to the ground for heated mirror.
It works wonderfully! They come on any time your footwell lights are on - when unlocking doors, when removing key from ignition, open any door...
Some quick pics:

That's the Neanderthal method.
I've finished hooking up my new puddle light (still have the passenger side to do) which connects in properly to the controller and operates when you open the door or unlock the car.
And the interior door warning light which operates whenever the door is open also wired into the controller.
Along with a fix for the handle alignment problem, dynamat and updated door trim and window removal instructions.
Full details will be written up over the next week, I'll post the links here as I finish them off.
