Here is the instruction sheet from the eBay product listing. It is not in English, but the pictures are pretty clear. You are essentially snapping apart the light enclosure, removing the circuit board and replacing it with the new circuit board, and then snapping it all back together. No glue or screws involved...it is all a snap fit. Then of course just plug it back into the wiring harness. Hope this helps!
I got the bulbs you suggested and with your photos, it took about 5 minute to replace the bulbs and the result is TERRIFIC!
Now I'm goin to see if I can do this with the Porsche light that shows up on the street when I open the doors.

It's easy. trim tool to remove the light, disconnect the harness and replace with new puddle light version. Another 5 mins job.
Well, I just gotta say that it was a BEAR for me to install those little boards. For the life of me, I could not get the clear part to snap back to the black part. I eventually got them back together, but it was not a piece of cake.
Contrast that to installing the Porsche logo puddle lights. Nothing to that! Pull the light out with your finger nail or credit card, disconnect the lead and plug in the new light. Easy as pie!

Pro tip (having just installed mine): push back the black plastic ferrule that goes between the two pins. That's what kept the housing from snapping back together in my case.
Definitely a worthwhile mod but the instructions could be a lot better.

Which are the puddle lights I need to get? The extra ones I have that I used for the "trunk" I could not get to fit and I don't think are what is needed for the puddle lights, as least as far as I could tell.
