I have a GLE loaner right now that I just noticed has these. They are so terribly awesome. They are very bright and clear and so tacky. The GLE has the projector in the mirrors. My sister has them on her Evoque too. I really don't know how I feel about them.
This car also has the 360 camera which I am very jealous about. It's probably the single coolest show off option. Even my wife thought it was cool!

Wiring for Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Puddle Light
For kicks, I purchased some puddle/courtesy/ghost lights for my GLK250. Unfortunately, when I popped off the covers on the doors, I discovered that there is no wiring for the new lights. The red reflector covers were just dummies/blanks/whatever.
Obviously, I should have checked first, but I didn't.
So...do I just return the new lights, or is there a relatively simple way to add the required wiring to the door?
Thanks,
Karl

My wife couldn't figure out where "the camera" was. I had her wave her arm out of the passenger window so she could see it on the sky camera. Chicks.
Great feature though. I'll never use the park assist but the 360 cam is worth the price of the package. Kind of like nothing in Drivers Assist is particularly useful, but Distronic is great to have. 360 cam, Distronic and Burmester should be available as stand-alone options IMO.

$...ouch. I do like it better with just the logo without the wording, but not for $110 more!

As for the warranty claims discussion: Here in the Netherlands a mod has had to negatively influence a part or be the direct cause of failure for it to be reason to deny warranty.
As for the puddle light:
I actually ordered some from ali even before i had my car... :P This is the result:
The lines aren't that sharp. Furthermore it gets really HOT and you'll lose the "red light" part of the puddle light as it only lights the floor and only has 1 light to do so. The red part cars/cyclists etc should clearly see when coming from behind that. On top of that: Fitment was not more than 'so-so'. So when i noticed these flaws, i just put these back in their bag.
I ordered different ones, which are original Mercedes lights. (part no A1668205900)
With this as a result:
Nice, sharp lines on the logo, still has a very clearly visible red part (this light uses 3 leds! 2 for the red 1 for the logo) and fitment of course is perfect, though a bit tight to install as the wires are very short. Would be easier to take of the doorpanel. I thought i had broken the light but it was only a connector that came loose and i could simply click it back on. Furthermore there is an actual heat sink on these lights! :p So no worries about one point getting to hot like with the aliexpress lights.
Feel/think how you like about these, i like them so i'll keep them on For those who don't like them, simply don't install them. Taste is personal and many people on forums tend to forget that. So instead of discussing whether or not something is good taste to add on (whether it be lights like these, spoilers, AMG badges or whatever... focus on the technicalities instead of taste.)

All you would have to do is pop it out, disconnect the stock wire plug, connect the wire plug to the new light with the LED projector, then pop it back into the door.

Just bought some on amazon and installed them. Ours are full red so no issues, logo is clean.
Honestly though I wouldnt pay THAT much for them.

Just search for 'projector'
They cost between 130-160 euro depending on your model of car. they also have an AMG variant. But i think you'd have to ask them if they ship to the US.

Hopefully those expensive Mercedes Benz OEM projector lights don't use plastic logo film, which tends to fade after some use (mostly on the drivers side, since that door opens more often).
It would suck at that price.
I suspect Mercedes might be using some type of logo image suspended inside a glass lens to prevent fading from led heat.
This OEM GLC projector light looks like it has the same plastic logo tray as the ones sold on Aliexpress.

If you want the MB OE - (there are 3 logo's to choose from last time I checked like -1 -2 -3) certainly has brighter/cleaner logo's - these are "new" to USA and just added to Parts Dept listing.. check with your dealer - not-so-bad...
