I live in RI. Place that specialized in HIDs and LED stuff did it for me. They're projectors.. You can get them for pretty much any popular car with their logo. He only charged 180 for all 4 doors so I imagine they're cheap to buy if you wanna do it yourself.

I just ordered these after seeing this thread. This should be a pretty cool looking mod! At night anyway.

check out the video of the VW version on that page also, slick!

I really like it...I just installed the replica m5 mirrors and lost my puddle lights that were on the OEM side-view mirrors. I was thinking of installing the projector logo lights in both of the side-view mirrors but fear that the projected BMW logo will look so big because of the increased height from the ground compared to the distance between the bottom of the door and the ground. Any advice? Thanks everybody!

does make a big differnence. I can't gurenetee that will look good. At least the version that I went with.. Cant adjust focus or angle or anything. They were version 1 of whatever the brand was. I don't recall. I would def look into it though. that would look cool .I know some mustangs come some stock with logo under the mirror.

The ones shown go on the bottom of the doors . I am not sure if I saw ones for the mirror lights but it is possible.
