I have a 2015 Silverado. I have the circle cut out in the bottom of my mirrors. But I have no existing puddle lights. Can I still buy them and just plug and play? If so, what is the part #?

I don't believe it will work if you don't have the existing puddle lights because you won't have the wiring inside the mirror for the lights.

Recently installed these thanks to reading this forum topic and love them, followed the instructions in here modified the puddle lights themselves and notched the locking tab spot on the mirror so the logo is straight with the truck!

Are your mirrors power folding with heat, and integrated signals?

No they are not. Just regular stock ones. 

Yea, like prior post said, they probably do not have the wires needed in them for the puddle lamps. Do you a have a borescope type of camera? You could put it in the hole and see what is in there

Wiring is absent in those mirrors.

No I don’t. But that is a thought. Oh well, on to the next mod!

The gentleman in the post right above yours could help you with everything you need for converting your mirrors to the power folding versions

When I was installing, it wasn't sitting flush and I could see where it was rubbing on that housing you dremeled.  

This section in white is where I went with a utility knife and just shaved it at 45°, like in my previous picture. Then it sat flush. I thought of using a Dremel, but thought it would take too much off really fast. It didn't need that much taken off. I even cut that tab that sticks up off.

This is where I notched the part where the little tab sits in. It didn't take much, but I did little at a time, again, just using a utility knife till it was straight. Arrow is pointing at the side I trimmed it. Both side are the same. It does let you turn it a little to rotate the puddle lamp.

Thank you so much.....I shaved a bit off with a knife and it fit perfectly.

My question now is getting it to align.  When you make the notch wider.....will it still allow it to click in place?......it doesn't move or rotate because you made the notch bigger?

That's correct, it only looks like a lot in the picture, but it's not by much and it hasn't moved on me since.
