Puddle Lights

I may be mistaken here, but i dont recall having this type of puddle light on my 2017 G30.

Any ideas where we can source this pattern of LED?

I had a new G20 loaner a few months ago and posted the same question on those cool lights. They are called carpet lights and unfortunately, the G30 both Pre and LCI do not have these and retrofitting from another model is questionable because you can't code something that is not offered in any form or fashion.

I did this to my 2016 F10. Wired it up to the lights in the foot well. A lot of work. They lasted but won't do it again
