Transform the Lighting Signature of Your Audi A5 or S5
Give your Audi A5 or S5 a distinctive new daytime running light appearance with replacement LED DRL boards developed for compatible original Audi headlights. Choose a permanently illuminated Red or Blue configuration, or select RGB+W for app-controlled colors, a dedicated white tone and additional lighting customization.
Choose Your DRL Style
Select a fixed color for a straightforward lighting transformation or choose RGB+W for adjustable colors and smartphone-based customization.
Red
A deep red lighting signature that gives the front of your Audi a bold, aggressive and unmistakable appearance.
Blue
A crisp, cool-toned lighting style that complements the modern lines of the Audi A5 and S5.
RGB+W
Choose from a broad color spectrum, activate a dedicated white tone and personalize the lighting through the compatible smartphone app.
Fixed Red or Blue Illumination
The Red and Blue boards provide a permanently selected color whenever the daytime running lights are active. No smartphone app or Bluetooth color controller is required.
Smartphone-Controlled Customization
The RGB+W version uses an additional Bluetooth controller for wireless communication with the compatible smartphone app. The app can be accessed by scanning the QR code on the controller.
Compatible Audi Models
This product is intended for compatible Audi A5 and Audi S5 models within the listed 2012–2016 product range. Compatibility depends on the original headlight configuration installed in the vehicle.
Audi A5 2012–2016
Intended for compatible Audi A5 models equipped with the original headlight design shown in the corresponding product images.
Audi S5 2012–2016
Intended for compatible Audi S5 models equipped with the corresponding original headlight design shown in the product images.
Audi A5 and S5 models can be equipped with different internal headlight configurations. Please ensure that your car headlights are the same as the ones shown in the product image(s) before ordering.
Important Installation Requirements
Unlike DRL boards that can be accessed through an external headlight module, this product requires the headlight assembly to be opened.
Headlight Lens Removal
The headlight lens must be carefully separated from the housing to access and replace the original DRL boards inside the headlight assembly.
Professional Installation
Professional installation is strongly recommended because the headlights must be opened, correctly reassembled and properly resealed after the replacement boards have been installed.
In addition to opening the headlights and replacing the original DRL boards, the RGB+W version requires installation and electrical connection of the included Bluetooth controller.
Why Choose DRLs Direct?
Developed for compatible Audi A5 and S5 headlights Intended for the supported 2012–2016 product range
These replacement boards are developed for compatible original Audi A5 and S5 headlights within the listed 2012–2016 product range.
Designed using original headlight data Vehicle-specific shapes and mounting positions
The board design was developed using original headlight data and 3D scanning to correspond with the mounting positions of the supported Audi headlight configuration. These are aftermarket replacement boards and are not original Audi parts.
Fixed Red and Blue options A straightforward single-color transformation
Choose Red for a bold and aggressive appearance or Blue for a cooler lighting style. The selected color remains fixed whenever the daytime running lights are active.
RGB+W smartphone customization Adjustable colors through the compatible control app
The RGB+W version allows you to select from a broad color spectrum and personalize the appearance of the daytime running lights through the compatible smartphone app.
Dedicated white LED channel A separate white tone alongside the RGB spectrum
In addition to the adjustable RGB color spectrum, the RGB+W boards include a dedicated white LED channel for a cleaner white appearance than a tone created solely by mixing RGB colors.
Bluetooth controller included with RGB+W Wireless communication with the compatible app
The RGB+W package includes an additional Bluetooth controller for communication between the replacement boards and the compatible smartphone app. The app can be accessed through the QR code on the controller.
Designed for compatible original headlights Not intended for unsupported or aftermarket configurations
The boards are intended for compatible original Audi headlights. They are not designed for aftermarket headlight assemblies or original headlight versions that use a different internal DRL configuration.
Professional headlight opening required Lens separation, reassembly and resealing are necessary
Installation requires separation of the headlight lens from the housing. The headlight must be correctly reassembled and resealed after installation, which is why professional installation is strongly recommended.
Designed around the original headlight configuration Changes the DRL appearance without intentional alteration of other functions
When the correct boards are selected and installed properly, the upgrade is intended to change the daytime running light color without intentionally altering separate headlight functions. Compatibility can depend on the installed headlight configuration.
