Interested in this one!
What's with the additional wirings/harnesses? Is it multi-color?
Prototype seems like a high quality product. I hope the production version has the rubber seals.
Keep us updated!

Glad to see I'm not the only one that had these yellow DRLs from China fail on me. Looks like TJ Hunt's build also has a set of DRLs that stopped working.

Advantage is that you have full OEM part for yourself for exchnage if needed.

My opinion is that some Yellow drls can fail due to overheating of electronic during your DIY process, over the time when not attached well to heatsink due to DIY and final because of the difficult access to one of the screws sealing the enclosure to carbody to protect the pcba from humidity, water and dust.

Good luck with wither way you go. 90% of its made in China is from one or teo factories.

Thank you for the tips. My G80 on week 46
This is the only DRL I came across that looks nice and bright yellow

Anyone take the opportunity to defeat the amber side marker LED while in there? Should be easy to cut the trace. While I haven't studied the G8x boards, the X5M (GO5/F95) have DRL, turn indicator, and side marker LEDs on the same board and assume G8x is similar.

Edit: Just occurred to me this may throw a code and require a more eloquent solution. Anybody up to test?

I think there are some succesfully removing it by coding it out. But when I looked into it few months ago it was not very clear and quite convoluded.

If anyone has been on the fence about purchasing from Ice Driver, there is a good sale today. I just got the yellow drl boards for $105.21 after tax. They are $160, there is a sale that brings them down to $128, then an automatic $4 off every $20, then a $15 off $100 coupon code.

For some reasons, 11OT11 didn’t work for me. US15 worked fine for $15 off $100.

As someone else mentioned, it's probably easier to just have it coded out. I had mine coded out when they did my euro auto-high beams.

you guys are buying the wrong Yellow DRL I did a comparison on the brightest and found ice driver single drl in my number 3 spot why ?? LED is smaller that they use compared to OEM then you have a brand that is the closest to OEM and brighter,, cost effective , and works no issues .....
