Hope this helps some folks to gain some confidence in doing this simple mod. I'm surprised to hear how much PA and Workshops outside charges for this.
Door projection lights like these can be bought cheap from eBay/Amazon/Aliexpress
How to Install?
Do take note these projection lights have a film inside which projects the image out, after 3-6months the image might burn out/becomes blur from the heat.
Some vendors offers replacement films which can be free or be bought for a small fee.
Film replacement
Simply remove the old film and replace with new. This pic shows you which part of the light assembly holds the films
