Default Aftermarket door courtesy lights, show me what you've got!

There are many different things people have done to their door courtesy lights, and I'd like to see the possibilities. Have you switched the lenses, replaced led bulbs (if so, what kind) or perhaps installed logo projectors like I did? Post pics if possible

These are mine:

Does it still light up 90 degrees to the door? In other words, is there still an LED light in addition to the projector light?

The projector is kind of in the middle, so it still gives light from both ends in 90 degree corner. This is a result from the wonderful world eBay, so just put courtesy logo lights to eBay and you'll find them, they weren't even very expensive and the install is really simple and quick.

Here is mine. I was thinking about getting the projector ones too, but decided against it.

You can't see it too well, but the upper part is a flashing row of red LED's

^ I always liked those Lexus downward firing ones. This is what I had with the clear courtesy covers and custom blue individual led's on the door panel, then switched to red after I changed my interior.

i did the simple all blue logo (without the circle) LED projector courtesy lights because it runs the same temperature as the rest of the LEDS on the interior and exterior of my car at 6000k. Of all the diff types of lexus projector logos available this one seemed like the most feasible as far as something lexus would release as an OEM option. in my opinion of course. to each his own. all the other ones on here look great too. its def an inexpensive and simple mod.

I purchased the clear door lenses, blue LEDs from V Leds. The lights in the door panel were installed by my stereo shop and those were individual alarm LEDs drilled into the panel. It was pretty sick.
