Puddle lights

My car came with the puddle lights with the Benz logo and I think it's a bit tacky for my tastes. I was looking at swapping them for regular lights but wondered if there was a way to change the logo or get some that had a different image. I think it may be worth putting something fun in there instead... Are there any options available that aren't too involved(it's a lease, I have to return it to stock in a couple years.)

If your lights have this tray (below), then you can change the film. The film size is 10mm.





A few years ago you could buy assorted 10mm logo film from Aliexpress, but it's hard to find now.

You might be better off just buying another $10 set of puddle lights from Ebay with the exact logo you want.

Good to know! Hopefully I can dig around a little and just find the film to replace.

I have a couple of sets, but they are for my private stash.

A gaggle of MB's
Please check your existing puddle lamps 1st to confirm your factory projector puddles are the same construction..

The China replacement puddles are designed as replacements for the standard puddle lamps.. I haven't pulled the factory projector lamps myself - so you need to pull yours to confirm.. the factory projector lamps do have a different power supply to the higher output LED projector lamp.. but I don't know if the factory projector LED lamp is same construction as standard or not..

Easy does it and it will all work out...
