LED Front Emblem?

I searched, might have missed it
But has anyone installed one of the LED Lit front emblems?

Looking for what size / where you purchased / how you mounted it /etc

Finally got the part in. I took off the front emblem and separated the 2 pieces, cut a small notch for the wires, then mounted the new light up emblem to the bracket/clip part of the original emblem. I wired the new emblem to the parking lights.
More photos after dark. Please excuse the bug massacre on my front end... I drive a LOT

Dang! That kind of sticks out far. So what you buy is just a LED backing plate? I thought they were entirely new emblems.

The unit was the full emblem, however it was just a hair too big to sit fully in the space the original unit sits. The 3m adhesive would only contact the small ridge around the emblem's hole. I didn't want to risk it falling off, so I used the original mount. It does stick out far... but it's not too bad.

Cool. A little bright for my taste, but cool. Wonder how much the Netz emblem would look like a lightning bolt.
