Honestly, the folding mirrors are a little pointless. I have them on mine and whilst it's nice, the amount they fold in is feeble and not worth much effort.

The puddle light looks nice, but makes little sense when getting out of the car, because the mirror moves away and the door blocks its light (genius design). I think VW were too cheap to put lights in the reflector housings on the door.

Nasir, I think they put the puddle lights in for when you're going to the car first thing or its been raining so you can look out for a puddle before treading in it.  :signLOL:
Pointless imho and the folders are useful if you've got a tight garage and don't want to get out of the car to fold them in. pain in the rear if you ask me. I wouldn't even waste a penny on things like that as they just cause extra stress.
