It痴 definitely in that same category. I wonder if you mean that as a compliment or insult though? 😂

Pulling this thread back up. Anyone tried the AliExpress version? Results? Any visible difference? Did it include the thermal paste?

I used the Ali ones on the wife痴 230. They came with the paste and look great. I have nothing to compare them to other than the factory white.

So seriously considering these... but considering the cost of replacement headlights, whether these yellow DRLs cause an issue or not. And I realize that the original module could be swapped back in...

Basically, anyone else worried about putting these in? Love all your thoughts...

I had my misting headlight unit replaced under warranty whilst the yellow DRL chips were in the car, they never mentioned them.

The drl's technically cant effect the headlight as it only shines light into a optic cable but i suppose if there was an electrical issue with the car they could use that as an reason to cause trouble

Actually just had a decision-reversal on this.

I specc'd my car with Cerium Grey accents, as I feel it compliments the Thundernight and the 792 wheels really well. With this, you also get the gold accents in the headlights, which I really like.

Installing yellow DRLs would completely hide the gold when the lights are on, and that wouldn't be at all acceptable! 🤣😎
