It was pretty fun that I went to Atlanta for the weekend right after putting them in the front doors. And sure enough when coming out of a club and opening the door for my girlfriend at the vallet station heard several "cool" and "wow" comments.
Just ordered mine. They are coming on the slow boat from China...
I ended up pulling the trigger on these yesterday. Spent $35 for the set and I'm super excited. Can't wait to install these. Hopefully they arrive soon as mine are also coming directly from China.
THESE appear to have the exact same 'crisp' projector and looks just like what I originally bought from Michael Albayati at BMWLED/FirstAutoLED. They are the newer style without a circle around the entire projection. I believe they are one-in-the-same as what I have...
And THESE appear to be the old style with a circle around the entire projection.
And THESE, which also have a circle around the entire projection.
Got mine installed tonight, I had to open them up and reaim the projector really. Driver door needs to be more forward and in towards car, same with passenger but in the opposite orientation to the housing. Also the sharpness can be adjusted by pulling out the projector from the LED source. Experimentation will get you good results.
I got them for my front doors but I hate that they cut off after 15 seconds. I contact the vendor and he told me it was design like that for preventing overheat purpose???

That's BS. Mine stay lit for 2:00 (then will blink and go out). Which ones did you get?
I ordered what looks like a diifferent version then what most of yall have installed. I never thought to look to see how long there suppose to stay lite. I was under the impression that the lights would stay on as long as you have the door open. I didn't know there was a timer built into them.
My driver's side door welcome courtesy light stayed on for 87 seconds the first time I tested it. I then immediately re-tested it again and it stayed on for 70 seconds. The third time it stayed on for 65 seconds. The passenger side door welcome courtesy light stayed on 91 seconds, 67 seconds and 61 seconds respectively. The ambient temperature at the time of the test was 71 degrees.
The simple self-contained circuitry in the courtesy light (that is designed to turn Off the light after 'x' seconds) probably does not have close tolerance (high precision) components for accuracy, nor adjustable thresholds for tweaking of the timing...simply because it is not particularly important how long the door courtesy light stays On as long as it stays On for around 60-90 seconds. I'm sure each brand door courtesy light uses a slightly different circuitry design and/or components, which will produce different timing as well.
I got mine in this afternoon and just installed them 15 mins ago. I actually started to adjust the direction on one of them and after about 2 minutes they turned off themselves. Also I noticed the projection assembly or whatever it's called gets kinda hot. I think that's why they have timer built into them I think.

Care to post a picture on how it turned out? Thanks
