I don't think you can. You can replace the whole light unit. In pro do a smoked black set for ~£35

Yeah, what he said. Change the whole light unit. I've replaced my wing mirrors and it can be a right pain and is really fiddly as the plastic is so stiff.

Perhaps you are thinking about the puddle lights...
iirc the indicator light unit is sealed.
