Then in the 2012 year, the First generation door projector lights started to sell well all over the world. The initial welcome lights used large projection tubes, and the installation required drilling holes in the car door.

Do you know what causes the effect? In fact, it is caused by the technology of the product. The initial design of the welcome light was realized by films and color inkjet. However, the ink will gradually fade and whiten when it is baked at a high temperature in the car. Based on this defect, every manufacturer continued to improve the product, and later adopted the design of film plus laser printing, so that the lifespan of the door lights was prolonged, but the plastic film still softened and deformed under high temperature.
3. How to solve this problem? is there a better solution?
Currently, the latest solution on the market is quartz glass film plus laser printing technology. In this way, the lifespan of the door lights has been extended a lot, it will not fading and deformation at least 5 years, even more, 10 years.
The following illustrated image shows the difference between the plastic film and quartz glass film.
The plastic material itself is not resistant to high temperatures, that is why the plastic films will go fade and blurry after high temperature and oxidize, and the pattern becomes blurred after a few months. The service life is very short.
The quartz glass material itself is resistant to high temperatures, so after long-term use, the glass film will still not fade, at the same time, because of the different lens combinations and arrangements, the effect of the door projection lights will be clearer and brighter than the plastic film door lights, and longer service life.
