Looking for Feedback on Yellow Daytime Running Lights for G80 M3

Hey everyone! I’m considering upgrading the daytime running lights (DRLs) on my G80 M3 to a yellow tint. I’ve seen some fantastic setups online, particularly those mimicking the motorsport aesthetics like the M4 CSL, and it’s got me really intrigued.

Why Yellow DRLs?

I love how yellow lights can not only enhance the look of the car but potentially improve visibility during overcast or rainy conditions. I’ve read that some drivers feel they can see better with yellow lighting. Has anyone experienced this personally?

What I’m Looking For

I’d like to hear your experiences or suggestions regarding:

  • Aftermarket options: Are there any brands or products that are highly rated?
  • Installation tips: Is it a straight swap, or do I need to modify anything? Any advice on tools or procedures would be greatly appreciated!
  • Durability and performance: Have the yellow lights held up well? Do they cause any issues with the car’s electrical system?

Final Thoughts

I’m eager to enhance my G80 M3’s looks and functionality with this mod. If you have any photos, product links, or personal testimonies, I’d love to see and hear them.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve worn yellow LED DRLs in heavy fog and they cut through much better than white ones. They really enhance visibility for sure.
