I thought it was no red or blue lights on the front of the vehicle or something like that.
I think I've seen some green lightings.
Either way, I don't plan on using colored DRLs (other than yellow) on the streets.

I was under the impression that no colors are technically allowed outside of white for DRLs. Aren't the ones on the M5 CS only yellow for the start up sequence and once in gear they revert to white…at least for the US spec ones?

Other brands are supplying cars to the US market with full time yellow DRL's. Hyundai and Kia are a few examples.

Would this work on the g20's as well? The laser lights are pretty similar besides the shape

I know from talking to other people asking, and him replying, that he's working on the G20 headlights.

It's probably just lens flare. Try the video.

Holy... lol
Is that how much it runs for a set?

Is it possible to set the color to orange?
I've seen a Kia Telluride with body color really similar to BG with orange DRL and thought it looked cool.

So working with the engineer they got the correct pin- Ours is 11 pin plug for the Outer DRL VS 9 pin which is for G22 4 series - This controls your Anti Dazzle Functions, Side Marker Lamp, Turn Signal without this properly functioning you will get tons of error codes - I feel like this is my baby ( project ) when the engineer wants my input as they are like mad scientist ( just an expression of how we think ) - So as we patiently wait for the correct boards to come in I will test it on my M4 to be sure its working properly and start shipping

Thank!
you are the best

Yes, even the OEM laser lights are $8,000 a set. So, unless you're willing to drop $8k on a new set, the LED upgrade is worth the price delta between stock lasers and CSL lasers.

Prices on some of these from the parts counter is just outrageous.
Headlights+CF buckets approach brand new Camry prices lol.

100%. Imagine being in a front end collision. Headlights, and front carbon bumper inlets are like $11,000.

Good way to total a car and get a brand new one. "Sorry the parts to fix your car costs more than the car itself, we'll have to total it." Fine by me!

Were getting there just one last final step.

We appreciate the update!
So once your testing is complete, the engineer will ship out the correct/replacement boards for those 2 batches you received?
Hopefully less than 2 weeks before shipping out to customers?

Here are your color choices. The lights don't change the color of the indicators. The indicators are still Amber switchbacks. If you select purple, the light will blink, Amber, purple, Amber, purple, Amber, purple.

It is. I know Jerry is busy with putting this together, and he also has other businesses, including wrapping cars, so, I try to help him get the word out.

You're welcome. Hopefully Jerry has another update, soon. I know I will see him, at EuroFest this weekend, as long as we both make it out. I think most of the current updates, are already posted, here, though.
