These lights are actually very bright and the colors are crystal clear unlike these crappy cell phone pix.

I chose this design because there was no drilling involved and it was 30 seconds for plug & play install.

Are the projection coming through a film? a glass?
Would be nice if we can customize the projection image

It is basically a LED chip that shines through a magnifying lens. Really just a small projector.

If you want to go custom, then there are the more expensive projectors which require drilling and they can be used in a different spot perhaps.

Well the one that requires drilling does display a different color scheme if that is what you are wondering, ("chrome" looking letters instead of the red shown above). otherwise, there are many of these available with other car makes on them if that is what you meant.

I originally got the idea when i went to the "Rally for The Ranch" Car Show at the Easton Town Center here in Columbus. There was a bunch of high-end exotics there, and the idea came from a guy who had a modded BMW with these lights.

I did just now! Wow, I might get a few things there like the hide-away-license-plate. . .

but their lights are much more money, and i'm not sure if they are as plug-n-play, but i would assume they would be brighter?

looks like there is a way to do custom artwork on the projection.

my guess is artwork is done on a glass or film

peteybabes,
How bright does the actual courtesy light part shine? Not the projected image. Hard to tell from pics a bit

Sorry for the late reply!

The actual courtesy light is brighter than factory, but not as bright as the full-LED options out there, and what i had on there before.

I only did these on the front doors, and the rears are still the super-bright LED's.


Quick Reply: :D $12 worth of light fun! :D
