Introduction

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing yellow DRL Angel Eyes on BMW 8 Series/M8 (2018-2024) models. At Macote, we specialize in BMW modifications, offering high-quality DRL solutions. Our range includes CSL-Yellow, Red, Blue, and other color variants.

For an easier installation, we also provide a variant with pre-mounted DRL boards on the heatsink (DRL module), eliminating the need for complex disassembly.

Note: Always consult your vehicle’s manual or seek professional assistance if unsure about any step. Our LED DRL boards are designed only for original headlights and are not compatible with aftermarket headlights.
