Changing the puddle light graphic - Changing the Illuminated Door Sill

I was wondering if it is possible to change the Puddle light graphic to something else?

Secondly, is it possible to change the blue illuminated door kick guard to a different color? (red as the car is red, interior is red etc).

Thoughts?

Puddle light - dunno

Illuminated kick guard - have looked into it and currently blue is it I'm afraid.

Welcome gaawd,
Whats your plan for a new graphic on the puddle light?
As for changing it for something else, it's never been done as yet!

Maybe the tread plate could be a mod for 2014MY - connected to the mood lights so you can select the colour that appeals most............... personally I leave the mood lights on white but each to their own.

I'm sure that there must be a away to get into the wing mirror to replace the LED and I suspect the puddle light image is just a clear lens cover with the image etched or printed onto it - probably be able to get the instructions from a dealer or body shop that has had to replace a wing mirror that has been damaged. Ikea sells a powerful LED reading light that is the same size as the puddle light and I have always though that an Evoque insert might sell as an owners momento, either projected onto your room ceiling or onto your desk as a work light.............

The illuminated door sills do not use LED technology, it's some sort of electro-luminescence device which will run at a high voltage and low current, a bit like a neon sign. The light output is pretty feeble and the colour will be set by the panel and a plastic filter. I have three cars with this - two white and the LR blue.

Etching the Evoque graphic on the surface of a lens will not do it, any more than using a magic marker on the front of a camera lens would include it in your pictures. It's a crude slide projector with a mask and projection lens. Whether you can get it apart to change it is another matter.

Why would you want to - it's cool (impresses all my friends!)

Well I just got informed by my wife that the blue door sills is to stay, even if I could change it. She likes the blue.

I am not 100% sure what I would change the puddle light logo to. (Batman, Company Name, RR symbol etc).

I guess what it would be changed to would depend on how large and detailed this can be and still generate a nice graphic.

Are there any news here? I just found that thread and i'm interested in changing it to the new Mustang part. Maybe the parts a the same because its Ford?

There's something not quite right about that image........ Like the Mustang is a bit too bright on the Tarmac and that it isn't aligned with the projector light.......... Artistic licence or mis-selling?

But that was not my question I think the Mustang part number is left - DR3Z 13B375A, right - DR3Z 13B374
