Multicolor DRL boards change the color of your daytime running lights. On a factory-fit kit, the new LEDs shine through the headlight’s original light guides or diffusers, keeping the factory shape and look. This guide helps you plan the install before you buy or take the car apart.
Find out how your kit installs
- Access-point install. Some kits swap a module through the back or underside of the headlight. The lens stays sealed. You may still need to remove the headlight to reach the module.
- Open-and-reseal install. Other kits need the lens separated from the housing. Butyl seals can soften with controlled heat and are often more approachable than they look. Hard permaseal housings can require specialist tools and more time.
Check the product listing for the supported year, trim and headlight type. If the install method is unclear, use Contact Us and share your vehicle details and a photo of the headlight label before you start.
Plan the board swap
- Check the parts. Confirm the kit, controller and wiring instructions match your order. Test the kit before removing or opening the headlights.
- Get to the LEDs. Follow the service procedure for your vehicle to reach the module or remove the headlight. If the lens needs to come off, confirm the opening and resealing method for your exact housing first.
- Swap and test. Install the LEDs as shown in the kit guide. Check the mounting, wire routing and lighting functions before reassembly.
- Reassemble and check. Reseal the housing if it was opened. Check the seam, caps and wire entries, then verify all headlight functions after reinstalling.
