B8.5 S4 DRL are yellow - how to fix?

[whitshrill]

Hi all,

Noticed on my 2013 S4, that both headlights DRLs are yellow. Right at the start of the strip is a tiny bit of white; but the rest of the strip is yellow.

Is this an issue that can be fixed without replacing the whole headlight?

Actually, looking at them more closely, they seem to be OK - slight yellow closer to the grill.I'll just live with it

As yours became yellowish due to the extensive UV impact through the years, you can buy a replacement DRL guides off aliexpress.

Not an easy job – you would need a heatgun, butyl sealant and some skills to reassemble the headlights, but it is certainly doable.

Good luck!

Thanks!
Luckily mine are no where near that yellow, I see in the pics. I do have protective film on the headlights as well, that seems a bit yellow ish too. So I will try replace the film, first this week. If that does not improve it might, I'll live with it until I can buy new headlights. Not up for that DIY - seen too many YouTube videos on it, to know, that is not a job for me lol.
