Just done this to mine tonight Mike but on the mk5 golf, I would assume its the same on the mk6,  so just push the mirror housing to the front of the car and you will see a small screw,  take that out and the puddle light is in that triangle shaped housing it just pulls out change it over and bobs your uncles.

It's not the same Darren, the bulb is only accessible from inside the mirror housing. ETKA shows it as a sealed unit without a separate bulb.

I'm sure there are a couple of how to's on the net but it involves removing the actual mirror, if I remember correctly.
