F56 Door Handle LED Courtesy Lights

I have LEDs in my 2015 door handles that come on when I unlock the car. Now I've seen a couple of 2016 Minis that have the Mini emblem projected down from their door handles.

Are there aftermarket kits to change the standard LEDs to the Mini emblem?

The lights you are talking about are located on the bottom of the door. Easy plug and play mod.

The new clubman has a MINI logo projector in the driver side mirror. I believe that is what you're talking about.

I saw it on the driver's side of a new Cabrio. I couldn't tell if it was coming from the mirror or door handle. The question is if I can upgrade mine.

It comes from the mirror - don't think they are retrofittable because the wiring will be different.
