WordSmith Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Good evening, I am seeking assistance and potential direction. I own a BMW 330 d with customised headlights, and I am interested in replacing them. Specifically, I would want to find headlights that include a yellow daytime running light (DRL) feature, if such an option is available. The vehicle in question is a 2014 f31 model. I would much appreciate anything that is similar to these specifications. Thank you for your attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvesBMW Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Is the yellow colour you are referring to the bright yellow colour or the yellow colour produced by old-style bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrvesBMW Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Understood. I haven't seen these before, but I have never actively searched for anything yellow. I will do a thorough examination later and if I come across any, I will provide a hyperlink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrvesBMW Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Upon a brief examination, it seems that the kit is suitable for installation. This particular item is located in the United Kingdom, however Aliex (presumably referring to AliExpress) offers the same item at a far lower price.

Paqngo Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Access Facebook, but my familiarity with them is limited to the M3/4. The compatibility depends on the kind of lighting you have. In my case, it is simple since I have LED lights.The modules are located on top of the lights under the hood. There are reputable dealers available on the M car forums.The price for these items is around £100, but they can also be found on platforms like AliExpress. The sellers simply purchase the products from China and resell them. The modules may be disassembled, allowing for the replacement of the internal circuit boards.I will attempt to locate the vendor.

WordSmith Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 Alright, I will search for the whole headlamp assembly. I have the option to eventually upgrade it to a yellow drs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt865 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I fail to get this trend – the purpose of DRLs is to enhance your visibility, so why would one choose to lower it? Style takes precedence over practicality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paqngo Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Yes, I agree. If the cars were originally yellow, it is quite likely that people would want them to be white. It is a matter of people desiring what they can have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrishazle Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Based on my understanding, it is permissible to use yellow Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) if the headlights and front side lights are also yellow. Yellow daytime running lights (DRLs) paired with white headlights would not comply with DVSA 4.2.3 regulations, thereby constituting a 'minor' fault during a MOT test. Prior to installing any modifications, such as the one mentioned, I would consult with my local and amicable MOT tester. This is especially important if the modification deviates from the standard complete yellow lighting, which is seen on vehicles that are originally equipped with them.

Paqngo Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The colours yellow and white are the only ones that are permitted, whereas any other colour is prohibited by law.Purely for display, use, and similar purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvesBMW Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I was only able to locate kits, but I did not check Facebook. I am likewise unable to comprehend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
