They are tinted turn signal leds and brighter puddle lights for tow mirrors. They should look way better now on black chrome free tow mirrors compared to the white housing.
I believe the stock turn signal housing has two leds and this one has six. And these new puddle lights has 6 leds instead of one.

Now if they made one with replaceable LED bulbs it would be perfect.

I've seen guys put in bigger leds too. That's just too in depth for me though for the time I have lol

Isn't that little bugger the most useful thing? I would not have wanted to do the audio controls on mine without it.

It's cheap too! Screwdriver and a cellphone is how I did it (a YouTuber gets credit not me)

Yes it is, I just couldn’t wait two days until it arrived. Lol

Same here, I believe it was Mpgrimm2 that I watched on YouTube?

I also certainly give credit to those who post instructions, i watched YouTube before I started as well, and ordered new trim and tool at the same time.

Disconnect the battery. Wait at least 2 minutes for the capacitors to discharge, preferably longer (I waited 1/2 hour in an overabundane of caution). The physical removal isn't hard if you have the $10 tool, it's a royal pain if you don't. There are a number of videos on Youtube of the actual process.

It’s hard to find steering wheel covers to fit our ****** steering wheels. Lol
