Default RC Puddle Lights?

Has anyone replaced the RC 350 puddle lights with an LED image? They seem to be in a different location than the other models, so I want to ensure that I get a projector that fits and hits the ground at the proper angle.

I just got these for my RC F and they were a direct replacement for the OEM lights. Took 2 minutes to change and they look great. I'm assuming the RC 350 uses the same door lights.

For those of you who did this mod, were your original puddle lights incandescent or LED?

I like the looks of the projector type though.

I replaced mine also. It's a great little treat every time you open the door at night, and people love it, as it's fairly unusual.
It might be going more mainstream, however - a friend recently gave me a ride in his new Audi A5 (back when getting into a car with someone was not against state law), and he had the Audi 4 ring logo projected from his doors. I asked, and he said it was an option when he bought the car. (Maybe via Audi, maybe just a dealer thing.) The last time I looked, the logo projectors were available for almost every make.)
Finally, they are very inexpensive and directly replace the stock lights - the replacement for both doors took about five minutes, and I was going slow.
Highly recommended.

Hmm... My GS has LEDs from the factory for puddle lights but it says that these are compatible with the '18 GS. Do you guys know if this is the case? I thought the factory LED puddle lights had a different connector?
