I was surfing eBay and saw Bentley logo lights to replace the puddle light under the door so only being $20 I gave them a try. The OEM light is just held in with a protrusion on the light so using a small screwdriver it was easy to pry out from the side of the light. On my 06 the plug was on the door hinge side of the opening. Just pry open the side clips holding the plug into the light to separate.
I got them from SHOP EXPRESS and although they took about a month and came direct from China the light was ok and you can judge for yourself if it is worth the effort. Took about 20 minutes to switch both out.
My '07 came with these lights, but I'm guessing it was not from the factory?
Either way, yours seem to be clearer in detail than mine. And more blueish / cold white, which I prefer.
US06GT, would you mind sending a link to the store page on eBay where you purchased them, or preferably a link directly to the item; there are quite a few hits when I google "Shop Express"...
One thing I noticed regarding your picture... Are you sure you didn't install them upside down? I think the logo is supposed to be faced the other way when you open the door, so you can read it as you sit in the seat and close the door.
There was not enough slack in the plug to install them the other way, but there is nothing stopping you to do that if your car has more slack in the plug. I don't think there is a up or down to these light, just how you want them. I just took the path of least resistance. LOL
After looking again at your pic, the ones we installed in the older thread were different. The projector lens on ours was a dial and it could be turned (rotated) to project at any place without removing the light housing.....just a different light type. Again, nothing more than a matter of different outcomes. It looks good either way.
The BENTLEY lettering on the trunk started, I believe, with the Gen 3 models and can be optionally deleted when the car is ordered. I think they may have done that to distinguish the car from Genesis models that use a very similar logo. In fact the Genesis line takes a lot of its design elements from Bentley inside and out. Of course, the letters can be be added to any year if desired but prior to Gen 3 it was not a factory option.
