Door Projectors

For those of you running the LED Door Projectors, which slide are you using? Trying to decide between the 3 M door slides.

I'm currently using the heritage logo on the front doors and the M logo on the rear doors.

I also have the projector that jmg has. I personally think it's a nice subtle touch. Happy with them.

Reviving an old thread, where do you get the actual LEDs to fit the door?
Similar to this one from IND?
https://ind-distribution.com/product...ctor-light-kit

I see ebay sells a ton, but not sure if they would fit, even some products specifically say it doesn't fit the G8X models.. is this something that hasn't come out aftermarket yet?

Interesting, thank you, it shows that the 50mm is newer than the 68mm I posted. That helps, found an unopened OEM set on Ebay for $115! No bother trying to get a knockoff that may not work.

sorry might be a silly question but can you apply these to the rear doors too or just the front?

Bump this question - can you apply the projectors to the M3 rear doors, or just the fronts?

I did fronts & rears. 2023 M3 6MT. Note that they're sold as a pair, so you'll need to buy two sets.

Is there a DIY to convert an M3 to M4?
