Can you add genuine MB logo projectors after delivery?
is it possible to add the logo projectors to an e-class (2019 A238) after you take delivery?
I don’t mean the cheap stuff bought off eBay or amazon... the real MB ones? As I understand it, they simply replace the inside door light? I would think they can be ordered because what happens if you bought the car with them and one fails?

I bought the ‘real’ ones at the MB dealer before my new car arrived from factory. They fitted them on arrival before delivery to me. They are really nice and sharp and straight plug and play replacement. They gave me the unused originals in a box.
Quite pricey at £120 but at least you know you are getting OEM parts and quality.
very happy with them and worth it in my opinion.

Easily replacable by yourself. A flat bladed screwdriver or even a table knife will do the job. Takes all of 1 or 2 minutes.
I purchased the cheap ones from eBay and I'll tell you.. you get what you pay for. they were horrible. Bought the factory ones from my MB dealer for an outrageous price but the quality is soooo much better.

Here's a online site that offers OEM part for $250. There are other online sites I haven't bothered to check.. Compare their prices to your favorite dealer.
Product description says "set of two"

I don't know why some people say that the "cheap" ones on ebay are not good?!?
...I got a pair on ebay for about $10, I've chosen the one with the MB star and also the "Mercedes-Benz" and they look beautiful.

I got a loaner car from the dealer and it had the MB star only....mine look better

Well you can get the original product at Amazon, not cheap but it is a factory part.

For approx. $10 you get the same thing and believe me you'll not know the difference.

My local dealer says $220 installed for the genuine MB projectors.
Mid love to buy the cheap ones, however I can’t find any that say they will work on a 2019 E450 Cab (A238). All the amazon links and searches show items that stop at 2017 and it seems the vast majority specifically say will not fit in the Coupe or cabriolet.
Question 2: will monkeying with sticking a cheap Chinese part in my brand new car do anything to the warranty?
Question 3: Anybody know I’d a) the E53’s projectors says “AMG “ or just has the tri-Star and b) will the E53 part fit and can be used in the E450?

How long does the OEM last?

The ones I got on ebay for $10 are still "alive" after 6 month...and look better than the ones I've seen on the new MB loaner from the dealer.
But if they die, out of $319 I have $309 left to buy 30 more pairs of lights from ebay....30 x 6months = 15 years
Now seriously: they are working, looking and lasting like the genuine ones even though I wouldn't be surprised if are made in China

Product Name: Car Door LED Lighting Logo Projector Ghost Shadow Welcome Lights For Benz (Benz-4 Pack)
I also just checked - seems they're that good that they're out of stock at the moment. I would search a brand that has high rating and try them out.
