LED Door Projection Light

I thought these were cool for my 2019 GLC300 and it took all of ten minutes to install them in place of the stock door marker lights. This utube video shows how easy they are to install, my experience was exactly like the video shows.The ones in the amazon link were a perfect fit.

Neat! Thank you for sharing. My driver-side puddle light isn't working so I got to dig into that. I might look into those lights afterward.

These are what I used from Amazon and they fit my 2019 perfectly and I suspect they will fit the 2020.

Hey Linus, thanks for sharing the projector lights. Unfortunately after a six week wait mine finally arrived and seem to be defective. Seems odd that neither projector light works, but my original bulbs still light up as soon as they're connected and the new ones do not. By any chance, did you have to manipulate the tiny connecting wires within the projector lights, or did yours turn on as soon as you plugged them in?

I haven't ordered these, but I did read a review that warned about bending pins. Here's what it said: "NOTE!: Be super careful pushing the wiring harness on to the replacement projector lamps. The pins on the lamps need to be in perfect position otherwise you can easily crush the pins which I nearly did. Had to use some tiny pliers to correctly align and straighten the pins so that it slides on to the wiring harness easily. Compare the original to your new ones before installing them."

Just something to check for. Good luck!

Thanks Tim, I also stumbled across that Amazon review! The pins appear to be straight, which makes me wonder if the lights I received are just defective. I appreciate your post!

The pins are very easy to bend and can be a little tricky to line up with the plug, my first try sounds like your experience the aftermarket one would not light but the stock one light right up when plugged back in again. It was then that I took out my magnifying lenses and saw the copper pins in the new light were not straight. I carefully got them straightened out to match the female slots in the plug and it light right up. .

I followed your advice and used a tiny flathead screwdriver to bend the pins and the lights are now working. Many thanks!

Glad it worked out, I like them a lot personally but I bet a lot of these sets get returned because of bent and crooked pins.

Linus69,

How's your clarity of the projected image? I have a 2019 GLC 300 suv also.. looking at these as well... some complaints on Amazon that the image quality it not what it appears in the ad....

Have any of your lights pop out during door opening or closing?

Thanks
Xbowguy

As the two pictures I posted of my light projecting on my garage floor show they are very bright and clear and they still make me smile when I open the car door. If these are put in correctly I see little chance of them popping out, they fit exactly as the stock lights do. The only issue would be the copper pins in the new lights, they can be a problem if not lined up just right with the slots in the plug.
