Thanks derfA8L. For anyone else wondering what "LED door beam" is, see this discussion: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q7-...ights-2895593/

I think I'd like them better if they were projecting from the rocker panel and didn't move with the door.

I've seen these at dealerships and they look fantastic. really modern. surprised they are a port installed option. so when the car comes off the boat they change out the puddle lights at the vehicle inspection center? surprised it does not get done at the factory.

Can't imagine why not. Similar projected LED puddle lights are available through various online vendors, although some I've seen really didn't look all that good IMO.

I ordered one set (2 doors) from Ebay and shipped from Germany (a little cheaper than US prices). Very easy to install -- Just need a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light housing, disconnect, connect new housing, push back in. They do move with the door but they're still fun!

Mind sharing your link or reseller? I'd rather buy from someone who had success here.
