CSL White/Yellow Switchable DRL Modules — BMW F22/F23 2 Series & F87 M2 (LCI LED)
Switchable White/Yellow DRL — Pre-Installed Heatsinks — Plug-and-Play — LCI LED Headlight — 2018–2021
F22 Coupe • F23 Convertible • F87 M2 • M2 Competition • M2 CS • 230i • M240i • LCI LED • 2018–2021
The F22 LCI headlight introduced one of BMW's most distinctive DRL shapes — the angular 3/4-style etched rings that gave the 2 Series and M2 an edge that still holds up. These modules let you switch it to CSL yellow from the high-beam stalk in under two seconds, plus strobe, breathing, and an automatic mode tied to your low beams. White is calibrated to match your factory DRL color temperature; the car looks stock at a glance.
Fits both Adaptive LED and Standard LED headlights on LCI 2018–2021 F22/F23 and F87 M2. Same module for both headlight types and both EU/US markets — no selection needed.
Is This Your Headlight?
One module fits both LCI LED headlight types — Adaptive and Standard. The DRL shape is the same angular 3/4-style etched ring on both. The difference is beam behavior: Adaptive headlights swivel with steering, Standard don't. Either way, the DRL module is identical. This does not fit pre-LCI (2014–2017) xenon or LED headlights.
Adaptive LED
Angular etched DRL — beams swivel with steering.
Standard LED
Same angular etched DRL — static beams.

Complete modules, not bare boards.
Each Eleron module arrives as a finished assembly — LED board bonded to its own aluminum heatsink with thermal interface pre-applied. The install is clean mechanical work: unbolt, unplug, swap, bolt. Your factory modules come out untouched and stay factory-correct in a drawer, so the upgrade is fully reversible whenever you want. No separating boards from heatsinks, no thermal paste, no board-level work.
Five modes · One stalk · No app
DRL Control
Every mode switches from your factory high-beam stalk with low beams off. Your selection persists through ignition cycles.
-
3×Manual Toggle
Switches between solid White and solid Yellow DRL. Your choice stays set until you change it.
-
5×Auto Mode Eleron Exclusive
Set it and forget the toggle. The DRL follows your low beams automatically: Yellow when low beams are off, White when they come on. Most competitor modules only offer manual toggling.
-
7×Strobe
A left-right progressive strobe in your current DRL color. Flash 7× again to switch the strobe to the other color. A show mode, not for road use.
-
11×Ambient Breathing
A slow, subtle pulse where the DRL dims in and out. Best used while parked or at idle — not intended for driving.
-
9×Reset
Returns the module to factory White DRL and clears all mode settings.
Built for F22 LCI LED
Plug-and-Play — Zero Coding
One module fits both Adaptive and Standard LED headlights on the LCI F22. Connects to your factory controller and wiring — no coding, no CAN adapters, no error codes. Welcome light, turn signal integration, and all headlight functions stay exactly as BMW engineered them.
Matched Pairs — Binned Together
Left and right modules are color-matched at QC before they ship, so your DRLs read identical side-to-side. Cheap imports often mix LED bins — one headlight slightly warmer than the other — and once you've noticed the difference, you can't un-notice it.
Fully Reversible
Factory modules come out intact and go in a drawer — bolt them back in for a lease return, sale, or dealer visit. Same process, same screws, no residue.
2-Year Warranty
Two years of coverage from delivery date on every set.
Installation
Access to the DRL modules on the F22 LCI typically requires removing the wheel arch liner or partially releasing the front bumper. Some owners manage to reach the modules by turning the wheels outward and pulling back the fender liner for access — no full bumper removal needed in most cases. The M2 and M2 Competition may have slightly tighter clearance depending on the front aero setup.
Once you have access: the factory DRL module is secured with T20 Torx screws. Back them out, unplug the connector, plug the Eleron module in, secure with the original screws. Test both White and Yellow DRL before reassembling. Allow 30–60 minutes for the full swap.
Tools: T20 Torx bit, trim removal tool, jack and stands if going the wheel/liner route.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. One module fits both the Adaptive LED and Standard LED headlights on the LCI F22. The DRL circuit is the same regardless of whether your beams swivel. Same part, same install.
Yes. The F87 M2 (including Competition and CS) uses the same LCI LED headlight and DRL module as the F22 Coupe and F23 Convertible.
Yes. The F22 Coupe and F23 Convertible share identical LCI LED headlight housings and DRL modules.
No. Pre-LCI headlights — whether xenon or LED — use a completely different DRL design and connector. These modules are for the LCI (2018–2021) LED headlights only.
No. One module fits both EU and US market LCI LED headlights — no market selection needed.
Not always. Most owners can access the DRL modules by turning the wheels outward and pulling back the fender liner. Some F87 M2 variants with aggressive front aero may benefit from a partial bumper release for more room. Either way, it's a 30–60 minute job with basic tools.
No. The modules draw the same current as the factory DRL and speak the same CAN signals to your headlight controller. No coding needed, no codes thrown.
White matches the factory LCI LED DRL color temperature, so the car looks stock at a glance — the right pick when you want the OEM aesthetic. Yellow is the CSL-style signature that turned the M2 CS into a modern icon. Switching takes under two seconds from the driver's seat, so your configuration isn't locked in.
