"Volvo" door puddle lights fitted
Hi all, my Daughter bought me these as a birthday gift, sourced from ebay, battery operated with a passive magnetic on/off switch so they illuminate when you open the door:

You select 'for volvo' from the drop down list, good thing is you can change the projection to another car type in the future - not that they're expensive as new kits anyway...

Nice thing is they hide away at the side of the seats when you close the door, they do take a little bit of trial and error positioning the small magnet to meet with the projector part and I found it easiest to sit inside the car making sure the light went on/off correctly.

May well take the plunge. It’s a pity though, to my semi-OCD mind, that they don’t appear to be ‘handed’.

They are handed!
The Volvo wording is presented to you the correct way round on both sides of the car.

Thanks, I’d not thought about the image, tbh I meant the casing, are they handed as well? From the eBay ad it doesn’t look as if they are

No the units are exactly the same with the projector lens to the left of the unit.
To be honest I didn't even check this when I fitted mine - I must have got lucky for once
