Puddle (ground) lights

One of these has failed. As far as I can see, replacement is very simple - just prise out the old one, swap the cable and clip back in.

I have found a pair of 63316972605 on Autodoc for £11.36. Has anyone tried a compatible part from elsewhere? Are the ones with logos etc any good, or do they look as naff as I think they are?

I've been looking at the genuine BMW logo ones - a few different sizes though, so make sure it's right for the e89.

I like the look of the logo ones (most hate them!)

If it's the standard type (ie, not the logo projector ones) then the bulbs are replaceable :thumbsup:

It's amazing & terrible at the same time - I'm so on the fence.

I think I love them :)

Everyone has to get them. They are awesome.
