Mercedes Offers AMG LED Door Projectors Across Model Range
Mercedes-Benz owners can now retrofit their vehicles with AMG-branded LED door projectors, regardless of whether the car is a full AMG model or a standard variant.
Mercedes-Benz has expanded its accessory options to include AMG-branded LED door projectors, making the feature available not just for high-performance AMG models but for most of its range. Owners can now fit their cars with illuminated AMG logos that project onto the ground when the doors are opened.
The AMG door projector replaces the standard entrance light fitted to the lower edge of the door. Once installed, it displays the AMG Affalterbach emblem, featuring the apple tree and river motif, alongside the company’s name and headquarters. This option is not limited to AMG-tuned vehicles: the accessory can be specified for anything from the entry-level A-Class hatchback to the large GLS SUV, provided the car is equipped with the necessary entry guidance lights.
How the AMG door projector works
The projector uses an LED light source and a lens to cast the AMG logo onto the ground whenever a door is opened. It takes the place of the original puddle light, so installation is straightforward for cars with the required lighting package. Mercedes-Benz also offers a version that projects the three-pointed star badge, which the company claims is one of the most recognisable trademarks worldwide.

- Mercedes star projector: Three-pointed star badge
The AMG projector is available both as a factory-fit option when ordering a new car and as a retrofit accessory through Mercedes dealers. Owners do not need to decide at the time of purchase; the upgrade can be added at any point, assuming the car’s specification supports it. There is no AMG-specific requirement, so standard Mercedes-Benz models can be fitted with the AMG-branded projector for added visual impact.
Availability and limitations
To fit the AMG LED projector, the vehicle must have the appropriate door entry lighting pre-installed. This is usually part of an optional lighting or comfort package on lower-spec models. Mercedes has not announced a Maybach-branded projector, though the Maybach S650 Cabriolet does feature illuminated door sills as standard. At present, the AMG and Mercedes star projectors are the main illuminated accessories offered for door lighting.
