While browsing through the seemingly endless list of Alfa Romeo-related accessories on AliExpress, I stumbled upon these logo-projecting welcome LEDs. Has anyone purchased/installed these?
I've seen that they exist as official Mopar accessories but the price in Belgium is 132 EUR excluding installation cost. I suppose they're better quality than these chinese knock-offs, but I can't fatom how they could be 120 EUR better...
Some one on Giuliaforums bought something similar but read to the end looks like they may not have much longevity, lost colour. However the one you're looking at could be better quality.
Bought 4 off eBay and they look identical £29.. prob Chinese crap but still going strong after 3 months ... couple of things .. the looms on the front doors are very very short so tie a bit of string to them before you disconnect , also if there like mine be sure to rotate the lenses before you fully push them home so as projection is how you want it
I took delivery of my car and received my Aliexpress order a few days later, so as promised here is my feedback.
As you can see in the attached picture, the left and right ones are clearly marked, so no need to rotate the lens. However one thing I hadn't paid attention to, the connectors are not the standard ones for the Giulia, so that meant using the provided wire to hook it up to the plug inside the door, and putting a bit of insulating tape to keep it all together. I'm thinking of reordering the ones with the proper connector, but for now these will do
As for the projection itself, it looks great! All told, you can't go wrong with those for 9 EUR or so
The ebay ones I have are of the Alfa Romeo badge, what I meant about rotating them is that on mine you can rotate the lens so as the image is how you prefer it but not once its pushed fully home .. also they came with the correct connector ...
