Door Light Logo Projector

I installed door light lgo projector, not oem.
It was cheap one, and look so faint.
Planning to buy better one, but not that expensive one like oem.
Do you guys have any recommendations where to buy good quality one?
There are a lot of those on ebay or AliExpress, but usually they are not compatible with f22.

I'm pretty happy with the ones I got from Amazon for $10-$12. I had to cut the bottom of the door trim for it to fit though.

Did you just have to just square off the corners on one end, or actually have to cut it larger?

I went to install mine tonight and they were slightly to large to fit.

I have the OEM BMW ones. You need to trim just a little off the one side. I think I just tapped it with a Dremmel to make them fit.

Basically, square off one end - I might have taken off a couple of mils. It took around 30 seconds with a razor knife.

Where can I purchase the genuine ones? Can you share a link? Will it fit the convertible version F23?

why is it that none of the ones listed on amazon and ebay are compatible with the 2 series? can i presume they're fine since they work with the majority of the F series bmws?

I ordered a set off amazon and they required a tiny bit of trimming of the door panel. It took about 20 seconds with a box-cutter. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.

the ebay ones for a e92 are a lil larger than the 2 series ones, they work with a lil dremeling.

spending more than 15$ on these is just insane.
