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.
Without traction power is nothing!
