    I could be 100% off but looking closely at the pictures I believe they go under the doors lighting the ground beneath..lets see what someone with experience has to say....very cool options..

    I think you're right. Usually called puddle lights or courtesy lights.

    Some even have a logo on them:

    My MB GLE has those.
    If OE then that'll be neat to install

    I doubt that was OEM. Likely an aftermarket mod.

    Yeah, I didn't think these types of things were even on the market when the 430 was new.

    No they were a dealer installed option. These look like the genuine ones. Projects a horse.

    So wait, I am confused, the OEM ones shown above, is this just a light? and does not project the horse? or the OEM one does project the horse?

    Make sure to wear the Ferrari shoes and baseball cap for the complete look when exiting the car.

    There is no provision for installation of these on the 430. You would have to cut into door panel leather and improvise a mounting device in the hole you made. I looked into this exact thing when my son gave me a set of logo puddle lights. It was not really possible without a lot of modifications etc so I gave that Idea up. for 458 there are factory installed lights and it is a direct R&R plug and play installation as there are already factory lights.

    I’d like to see them installed. Must have been a factory option on Scuds and Spiders. No opening on mt 430 coupe for these and no one wanted to cut holes in the leather door panel. It probably can be done though if you are willing to make it happen.

    Yeah, I looked under my door on my 2007. No way to install these without making a big ass hole!

    2008 Spider doesn't have the OEM light either so I have a feeling unless your car is actually OPTIONED with it from the factory, this wouldn't just "plug and play". Haha
