I ordered a set before I got the car but when I popped the first one out of the door the wire was so short I didn't want to unplug it and risk losing the wire in the door. So I put one in tailgate and turned it around so it shines the logo on the boot floor when the boot is open. If the boot is fully open then it is hard to see and a bit big though. Half way up it works quite well. It was worth a try though!

Have to say I like the look of that. Is that a picture of your car or the advertising picture?

Any trick to getting the rear door light out? Fronts came out easily....

Yes that is my car so is how they look. They look even better in the flesh.

The wire is short but doesn't retract so you cannot lose the wire or end.

Any trick to getting the rear door lights out? The fronts just popped out easily but the rears are a little different and have no obvious side that needs to come out first, if that makes sense.

I've ordered a set for my S8 (S8 logo obviously which only a few AliExpress suppliers do), about a week ago.
On their way, left China by air mail (Guangzhou airport) yesterday. £11 for a set of four.
Front doors are fine but the rears have a space/clearance issue due to the door pockets; at that price it's worth seeing if can be made to fit.
As for removal, there's usually a tiny notch at one end where you lever them out with a small flat-blade screwdriver. Look really closely.
