If you are after a set of puddle lights check Aliexpress. I got a set for my V90 that project the Volvo logo on the floor. Think they cost about £8.00 a pair, the only down side is they take a couple of weeks to arrive from China.

Just a word of caution - I tried adding these to my car (2015 V60 R-Design) and they didn't light up (despite the wiring being there). So there may be a configuration your car needs to have for them to be active.

Just be clear are you talking about the puddle lights ie the lights in the wing mirrors or the door lights ie the lights that shine from the bottom of the door ??

Its the lights built into the bottom of the door panel. literally a 2 minute job to swap them. But for gods sake don't let go of the wiring loom, then its a pop the bottom of the door panel off, and have a good feel around for the wiring plug. Volvo were not generous on the wiring loom. Been there, did that.

I have a 2015 XC60 R Design, and I can confirm the wiring for the Ground Lights (that’s what Volvo calls them) is present and is operational. Also, the wiring for the Door Pocket lamps is also present and operational. Here’s where they are
The lamp units for the Ground lights are identical to the Footwell lights and the Tailgate light. The Volvo part number is 1286317. If you want a guaranteed easy fitting this is probably what you want. They cost around £30 for a pair from Volvo. However, I think the light output is very poor and I don’t like the warm white colour (I’ve replaced my boot and footwell lamps also). I went for aftermarket White LED units from ebay (Just search the above part no. for loads of options). Although the performance is exactly what I wanted (very bright and white), the dimensions of the fitting were poor and required filing of the lamp housing and connector socket, and wedging the connector in place on the lamp to get a secure fit. For me it was worth the effort for the light output. For the Door pocket lights I just used generic LEDs with diffusers, wired in to the original plug.
