I am late, reporting for duty.... exactly how was that accomplished, and how much did the parts cost (nada) and how much did it take to get it done (a bit?).
Mind you, I really enjoy not having any of the right tools for anything so a simple 45 minute project can take 2 to 3 weeks of running back and forth to the hardware store. I have this methodology down pat.

Cost: Less than US$20 for a pair (close to nada)
Delivery time: After placing an order at eBay, took about 2 weeks
Installation: Less than 5 min (a bit - just plug and play)
Tool: Your fingernail is good enough to pull out the current light units and the connectors... Then push the new units back in - very easy.
The projected image is decent provided that the road surface underneath the door is smooth (if not, the image becomes a bit fuzzy...)
Caution: The installation of these lights will certainly catch an attention of your spousal unit/significant other during ingress/egress of your F-Type especially night time - she may say 'Cool'.

I've had these Growler projections for about a year now. Took 5 to 8 minutes tops for both sides together.
Of course they look best at night, on dimly lit pavement or asphalt. Don't show at all during the day. Got mine on eBay as well. Paid $12 last year.

Yes, that would be my wife's reaction as well. However, in this case it's also mine. :-)
I had to disassemble the whole thing and reverse the "slide".There's actually 4 lenses in each light. One before the image "slide" and 3 after.
