Modules (lights) are from Wind Fire Auto and it came with the MB Star logo chip. I forgot to order the AMG logo chip that is changeable so it will light up as AMG and not the Star.
What is the cost for the set of modules and AMG logo chip?
Installed the Door LED projector last night and was super easy and fitment was great. Here are some before and after pictures. I am going to order the AMG logo chip from Wind Fire Auto. What you need is a small flat head screw driver and gently pry the bottom courtesy light out and then grab with your fingers and pull out and disconnect and connect the new light and make sure the orientation is correct and put the new light in. Literally about 5 minutes per door.
Update! I got the new AMG logo chip and installed. Much better!
You can get all sorts of designs on Ebay, but this is the only one I found that Mercedes uses as a genuine part. You can purchase the actual light from them for about $350~ CAD. Resembles the logo perfectly.
It will say it doesn't match your car in the description, but I matched the physical one from my door to this product and gambled on it. Works like a charm.
This is basically the same size light fixture as the CLA. Cheers It actually works quite well in all sorts of lighting, the picture I took is just not the best.

Just got a notice from my post office that my logo projector is being delivered today. I got the OEM Mercedes Affalterbach logo from an Ebay Canada seller for about $130 USD for 2 by making an offer. Merc is selling theirs for 180 or more. I'll post once installed. For now, here is the stock image.
Where did you find a plastic one? Fortunately, I had a VERY thin metal tool. Folks, it does take a little skill to do this and yes, plastic if you can get it. It is only plug and play once removed.
I just have a single tool with a flat end and a forked end. The forked side is handy for popping out those little plastic trim "rivets" that you find inside wheel wells and under the bumpers.
I tried some aftermarket ones. The projected image was OK but the red safety light was too dim to be visible. The aftermarket ones directed the single LED emitter downward to project the image but relied in light "spillage" alone for the safety marker. IMO this was an unacceptable compromise so I sent them back.
Benzparts, do the OEM projectors that you're selling have sufficient light output for the red safety markers? Do they use two lights sources (one for the safety marker and 1 for the projector) or is it a single emitter?

How long does the light last? Month? 6 months ? longer ?
I have these puddle lights in my C43 - it will be a full year next month. I got them off of Amazon for about $15.00 with an AMG logo. have not had any problems with them and they still work great.
I assume you have done some sort of side-by-side comparative lumens study?
My wife's car has OEM Mercedes logo puddle lights - and in the garage, both of our lights appear to be about equally bright... but I am sure that the genuine OEM lights that cost more then 10 times what I paid - will be ever so slightly better....at least they should be right?

Did the aftermarket ones have properly bright red warning markers? I returned the aftermarket set that I got from Amazon due to the dim safety lights. The logo projectors were OK but I did not want to loose the safety feature of a bright door light to alert oncoming traffic of the open door.
2017 c43 coupe. I bought the OEM ones and they only fit on the sedan. Then i looked on Amazon and the only ones I could find that fit the coupe are the non OEM logo AMG, I don' t want some random logo that is not even offered by Benz as OEM.. Can anyone please assist ! Thank you !!
