IIRC the DRLs just use Hi-beams at lower wattage. I don't think a LED replacement are readily available for this application. We offer the Xenesis Trumatch bulbs which will be a good match to 4300K OEM xenons, however. I believe the bulb size is h7.

Yeah, that sucks that the pre-LCI didn't get the AE DRL's. I turned my DRL's off and put my auto headlights on sensitive so the headlights and AE's just come on when it's relatively dark.

DRL… are you referring to the center highbeam bulb or the little tiny bulb on the upper corner?

Lucky you. I'm stuck with them on since my E90 330i was part of the first production run and the DRL's are permanently on. I have no option to turn them off on my idrive and on the steering wheel stock. The dealer wants $175 to deactivate them.

The little tiny bulb on the upper corner, that bulb you can't change?
