FWIW, I have been through about six (No, I’m not kidding) passenger side replacements from ICEDRIVER and they’ve all done this. Driver’s side from my original order is still going strong. I finally got sick of it and put a bunch of super glue on the board around the edge of where the two pieces meet and I haven’t had the issue since. It’s ghetto IMO, but it worked.

German engineering...
What's the story on the TUeV and modded yellow DRLs?

We're contemplating a move back to Germany after our time here... technically we're exempt a lot of TUeV requirements but at the same time getting said exemptions can be a pain in the ass.

In short: It´s not legal and you can´t pass the TUeV with the ICEDRIVER modules.
You need modules that can switch between white and yellow.

All good. My first two I had a problems with the boards detaching but since then, no issues. I had both replaced free charge.
FYI There isn’t much wiring to work with so when you are plugging them in and you apply too much force to the connector it will weaken it and break. It is held on to the board with electronics adhesive. I took my two old ones to my electronics buddy and he repaired them and now I’ve got a backup set. Doesn’t recommend using superglue as this is not the proper product to use as the heat generated will eventually cause them to fail.
