Transform the Lighting Signature of Your BMW 8 Series or M8
Give your BMW 8 Series or BMW M8 a distinctive new daytime running light appearance with replacement LED DRL boards developed for compatible original headlights. Choose from three vibrant fixed colors or unlock extensive customization with the app-controlled RGB+W version. For a more convenient installation, the boards are also available pre-mounted on matching heatsink modules.
Choose Your DRL Style
Select a vibrant fixed color for a straightforward lighting upgrade or choose RGB+W for app-controlled colors, a dedicated white tone, adjustable brightness and multiple lighting modes.
CSL Yellow
A vibrant yellow lighting signature inspired by the distinctive appearance of modern BMW CS and CSL models.
Red
A bold show-car appearance that gives the front of your BMW a more aggressive and unmistakable presence.
Blue
A crisp, cool-toned lighting style for a modern and individual front-end appearance.
RGB+W
Select colors, activate a dedicated white tone, adjust brightness and choose lighting effects through the compatible smartphone app.
Simple, Fixed-Color Configuration
CSL Yellow, Red and Blue provide a permanently selected color whenever the daytime running lights are active. No smartphone app or additional Bluetooth controller is required.
App-Controlled Customization
The RGB+W version uses an additional Bluetooth controller and wiring. The required controller and connection cables are included with the RGB+W set.
Choose Your Product Configuration
Select the configuration that best suits your preferred installation process. Both options contain the required components for the left and right headlights.
Replacement DRL Boards
This option includes the replacement DRL circuit boards without heatsink modules. The original boards must be removed from their heatsinks and the replacement boards installed in their place.
Boards Pre-Mounted on Heatsink Modules
The replacement boards are supplied already mounted on matching heatsink modules. This reduces the amount of board-level disassembly and assembly required during installation.
When RGB+W is selected, the included Bluetooth controller must still be installed and connected to suitable power and ground points. The pre-mounted option only simplifies the installation of the boards on the heatsink modules.

Optional pre-mounted heatsink modules Choose boards only or a pre-assembled module configuration

Original-style single-color connection No separate color-control module required
The single-color boards are designed to connect through the corresponding original DRL board connections. No Bluetooth controller or additional RGB color-control wiring is required.
Full RGB+W app control Colors, white tone, brightness and lighting modes
Control the RGB+W boards through a compatible smartphone app for iOS and Android. Select colors, adjust brightness and choose between different static and dynamic lighting modes.
Dedicated white LED channel A separate white tone alongside the RGB color 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 produced solely by mixing colors.

Each package includes the required DRL boards for the left and right headlights. The pre-mounted option includes the corresponding heatsink modules, while the RGB+W version additionally includes the Bluetooth controller and required connection cables.
