Finally got it installed yesterday from dealership, it took technician around 5 hours to install it without removing the bumper . I ordered DRL with heat sink so i can keep OEM without removing them from heat sink and paste the yellow one. Looks extremely bright and deep yellow in reality, picture took from my phone doesn't show the real color.

Same thing happened with me left DRL malfunction, left turn signal malfunctioning and i also reached out to ice driver and they gonna send a new replacement.

So finally i got my DRL checked and found out that the outer left side DRL board somehow broke and fell inside which caused all malfunctioning errors .ICEDRIVER the vendor of yellow DRL is keep saying I'll ship out new DRL tomorrow from last 7 days but no update yet.
So meanwhile the technician installed the stock DRL module for outer side , lights looks so weird so i turned off the DRL in idrive until i find a solution for replacement.

Was that the entire module or just the replacement IC board?

Which dealership is this? Care to help me out with having your technician install mine? LOL. I have a set of RGB DRL's purchased from RGSport since January this year but realized that this was not possible to do by myself so did not go past opening up the fender liners.

I don't think I will ever install these on my own so I am also open to selling my kit to anyone else on here that wants it. They are unused and in the same box that they arrived in so will sell for the same price that I paid and will pay for shipping or local pick in SF Bay area.

Its better if you Message the seller before placing the order and give him car model info, color of DRLs you wand and let him know you want DRL’s with heatsinks .

Lol , i hope its easier to do in F95 because it's crazy to install those in G05.
Just make sure do press hard the drl boards during installation because the connector portion of the yellow DRL’s are very thin compared to OEM boards .
