yellow laser DRL?

I found these on bayoptiks, anyone try these out yet?

If so how are they and is the install the same as they are on the g80?

You should have a look at ICEDRIVER on AliExpress, because thatīs the manufacturer of these modules and you donīt pay a markup.
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005001329013245.html

And the installation isnīt as easy as for the G80 series!
The LED boards are glued to the heatsinks and you need to switch them.
And you need to remove the headlights and loosen the front bumper to get to the last screw for the outer DRL/turn signal module.
I wanted to have the original modules untouched so i bought a second set of modules.
You can use the modules of the adaptive LED instead of the Laser headlights, because the heatsinks are identical and the modules are cheaper.
2 x inner DRL: 63118496134 / 63119477985 (X5 EPX-BM-092)
Left outer DRL/turn signal: 63118737143
Right outer DRL/turn signal: 63118737144
You can also use the inner modules of the X5 series, the heatsink is identical.

With the new modules you get a small portion of thermal glue.
To remove the old boards you can use a heat gun and then carefully remove the old boards.
Use a thin layer of the new thermal glue and spread it over the new board.
For the inner DRL boards you need to align them properly because the boards have bigger sized holes.

Thanks for all the detailed info I appreciate that!

It definitely sounds harder than how it’s done for g80 which I was hoping it wouldn’t be haha.

How much would you say it costed after buying the extra modules, tools and everything together?

Also, did you have a video you referenced while you did your install or your experienced with all this stuff?

Thanks again!

160 EUR for the yellow boards.
160 EUR for the outer DRL/turn signal modules.
110 EUR for the inner DRL modules.

I researched all this by myself because all videos out there only described the G80.

4 series is a walk in the park while 3 series is a nightmare.
I donīt understand why BMW had to make the outer DRLs so hard to replace.
