Led Puddle Lights

Does anyone know of any LED puddle lights for the doors? They are the lights on the bottom of the doors.

Thanks!

I ordered this from Horizon LEDS:
http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/oem-led...r-led-kit-pack

Nothing fit my car at all... Kind of pissed about that but I made the best of it and utilized the bulbs in the front doors and the trunk.

A little solder, some wire and some hot glue

#mickeymousethat'ish

For the doors, I removed BMW's LED board, utilized some breadboard male to female jumper wires to plugin the factory harness, and soldered the wires off the jumpers directly to the LED bulbs. If anyone is interested I can take some pictures of that tonight.

I ordered some LED low beams from them for my car and I'm very pleased with them, but yeah I give that a look. Thanks!

For my 2016, I bought replacements off Amazon. For BMW, you can have projection roundels, or ///M. They look absolutely amazing:

They are slightly deeper than the OEM, so when you try to angle them in, they do require a bit of force (or you could shave the opening a bit).

I think this is one of those aftermarkets gadgets which seems like a good idea in the beginning but will leave you wondering "What was I thinking" after a few months.

But for $17, it is cheap enough to dispose off later without hurting your wallet.

Thats nonsens, only thing I would bothered by is the angle of the M logo appearance. If you're going to buy some other brands from aftermarket, the lens is sometimes turnable and so be able to adjust the logo flat to the open door angle for example. That would be maybe the dot onto the i

Yup, that's the ones I got. I was impressed on how well they look. Not sure why there should be haters, the car has a m-package, the sill plates in the picture has ///M on them.
