Puddle Light Question

Hi all

I realise the subject gets mixed reception but I'm thinking about adding the LED puddle lights that the GLS has to my GL63 and came across the attached image over the weekend and I'm now desperately trying to find it because the image shows a different start and the door is closed suggesting that the LED projection is from the mirror housing rather than the puddle light in the doors, anyone seen this before?

I liked this one a lot but my application is to project from the door lights and it just doesn't look like this one does that? Looks very crisp and clean as opposed to the blurred images the aftermarket Chinese stuff offer so was thinking of going down this route but cant see how it works, have asked my local dealer just incase I'm missing something here?

Thanks
Carl

Got this off of eBay for less than $17. Set of 2. Image is clear and very bright. Installed in under 5 minutes. Very simple!

Do you have a link please, will see if they do the MB star logo, do you know if they have heat sink included and if the red part of the light still illuminates?

Still interested to know about this style I posted the picture of too.

Thanks

The red part does light up. Not sure on the heat sink. Search "Door LED Projection Mercedes" on eBay as they have different options. I thought the quality of the ones I purchased was very good. They have only been installed for 2 weeks, so time will tell. The person that I purchased them from does not have any listed for sale at this time. I have seen Mercedes sell these for $260 as a genuine Mercedes part.
