So you're saying my John Deere hat is cheesey too? :-(

Anyhow, those lights are very lame.

Thumbs up Logo upgrades

I opened one of my new projection logo courtesy lights and found out that the logo film insert is adjustable and switchable.

OMFG!... how do you install these without the light housing?

Edit: nevermind, just read the description... they include a hole saw... wtf so they expect you to drill a hole in your door panel. The other design is way better.

I never, ever make permanent mods to my car so I can restore it back to factory later and sell/trade-in.

I found a bunch of sellers on Aliexpress that sell just the logo film. $3.

I will need to measure my logo film to ensure I purchase the correct size. Looks like there are 13mm logo films and 10mm logo films.

This set looks awesome, but is probably too big for my logo film tray.

Mine were a perfect fit and exact swap for my door lights. MB Part number 2048207901. I have a 2011 C300 but I am not sure if all W204 door lights are created equal. If you have that part number you should be good to go.

When I bought mine on ebay the only seller with the correct w204 plug and play replacement part was seller "easylife_go". I paid $43 a pair.

Lol, now I see two other sellers "yes2yeah" and "i5moto" with the same thing (in a white shell) but for $24/pair.

For different logo designs search aliexpress for "logo light film 10mm". There are 2 sizes 13mm and 10mm. The logo door lights I purchased use 10mm film.

Each seller has a catalog of different logos, sold in pairs. I paid $7 a pair from aliexpress seller "Great Lighting Factory".

hope that helps.

The actual puddle image from Ebay is shown in post #1. Looks exactly as shown. Replaces MB part #2048207901. Remove old, insert new.

The actual Ebay puddle installed on my car, displaying the MB logo that came with the unit is shown in post #25 (This is an actual picture I took with my phone)

A picture of the actual ebay puddle I received can also be seen in post #27 (The blue background is my trim removal tool case)

The new logo film I ordered from aliexpress can be seen in post #32. (One blue transformer set and one white classic Mercedes-benz logo set)

**I will be ordering more logo styles once I verify the size (10mm) is correct for my unit.**

I haven't installed the new logos in post #32 yet. It's Saturday and I just woke up.

I will post a picture of the new logo styles once I get them installed.

10mm logo film catalog.

It seems all the Aliexpress 10mm logo film sellers are using the same catalog.

Talking The new logos installed

I installed the new Benz and Transformer logos to see how they look. Their projected diameter (circle) is a little bigger than the stock logo that came with the unit.

The original logo that came with the unit


The classic benz!


The blue transformer. Nice!

I can only verify the quality of "easylife_go" black versions, since that's what I have. Those are more expensive at $43 a pair, but the shell color(black) and the red lens matches the original MB part.

The white versions will have a visible white border when installed and the red lens style isn't the same as the original MB part (has 3 raised lines). However, they are only $24/pair and if they have the same internal parts then awesome.

Has anyone bought and received a pair of the white ones? I am curious.
