$17 Laser LED Door Shadow Projector Light- CADILLAC Logo (does XLR have same size interior light as CTS?)

Hi All,
I stumbled across these on Ebay, and they look pretty cool:

2X Laser LED Door Shadow Courtesy Projector Light Lamp Logo for ATS Cts | eBay

2X for Cadillac SRX XTS Laser LED Door Courtesy Step Projector Shadow Light | eBay

looks like it's a simple plug and play from this video (here's a guy that did it to his BMW)

He claims he's had them for 6 months with no issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAhLTljptwQ

there is a different model that requires taking apart the door, drilling, and splicing wires (NO WAY would I do all of that)

Have any of you tried this?
Of course they only have compatibility listed for current models- CTS, ATS, XTS, SRX). I e-mailed the vendors, and they are all in China and probably have no clue about the XLR.

Does anyone know if their door lights are the same as ours?
$16.99 with free shipping. So might be worth the risk ;-)

I think I've tracked down the part #
[h=1]COURTESY LAMP - 2009 CADILLAC CTS (10359030)[/h]However, based on this- it only fits CTS, SRX, STS
COURTESY LAMP for 2009 Cadillac CTS|10359030

And the parts for the XLR-
[h=5]COURTESY LAMP[/h]Part Number : 10384583

Part Number : 10384584
And of course these only were used on the XLR and cost 3x's as much!!!
COURTESY LAMP | Genuine GM | 10384584

still wondering how much different in size it is?

Funny, I've never noticed the OEM light on my XLR doors.

thanks for the links. Its a god start, even in their notes they say they may not fit my model. The issue for me is the freight is worth as much or more than the part and if it is not correct as many parts seem to come incorrect, it is junk as no one will need a rare part in NZ and to send it back costs more than the orgional part.
my car has done 30k miles so it may be worth me getting a few spares at the same time depending what fails on these cars, ?
thanks for the help people.
