Puddle lights - upside down! HELP
hi guys
was wondering if you can help. i bought the genuine m performance puddle lights and fitted them (can only fit one way in door during to wiring) 63312414105 here comes the problem, when its fitted, the image projects the wrong way rounds. The projectors can only go in one way (tried flipping round) and it does not really rotate! I have tried everything flipping it round, don't really rotate much. I can only insert it on way in and i have tried both combo (left and right projector on the door) I have tried all the projector images and all combo and same result... any help would be appreciated.

I fitted these to my new G31. I had the same problem. There is a combination which gives this.....
However, I can't remember what I did, maybe swapped LH/RH light units and possibly also swapped LH/RH lenses. Sorry I'm not much help, but there is a combination...

Hey bud. That looks good. I have tried all the combo. So frustrating. Is your puddle light the same part number as mine?
Any chance you can take a picture for of how it is installed if not too much trouble to pop off? I am really at a loss.. |

Since the wire is opposite you have the flip the lens the opposite way. Leave the Left one on driver side and right on passenger side so emblem will point outward. I have a G30 but couldn't get them to fit in my car. Almost like they cut the hole to small for them to fit and didn't want to force them in. Good luck. |

I had the same issue when I installed mine. Even though they are labelled left and right, put them on the opposite side and that will take care of it. In other words, put the left one on the right door and vice versa.
