Color-Changing DRL Headlight Modification with App

[Sh1fty]

Hey everyone,

I came across this video showing a headlight modification that allows you to change the color of the DRLs (Daytime Running Lights):



I was wondering if anyone here knows a shop or someone who can perform this type of modification on a 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec.

I'd ideally like to have the same color-changing DRL functionality shown in the video.

If anyone has experience with this, knows someone who does custom headlight work, or can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Interesting, great video. I thought the headlight was largely untouchable, but that makes it look very approachable. I like the idea of changing drl color, but never wanted to commit to a vinyl option.

Trying to look into what chipset and controller they might have used

Look up headlight retrofitters on google, might have something local. If not local, you’ll have to ship your headlights out. I’d reach out to Vision Autoworks. I’ve seen plenty of examples on Clubrsx when I was active over there and they do good work. You’d have to submit a quote request through their website. Precisionworkz is another company that comes to mind, but their website seems to be down. Could try reaching out on their Instagram.

Is it legal to remove the orange reflector?

Technically, I think so, but a lot of BMW owners have been doing something similar for years replacing the orange reflector in the bumper cover in front of the front wheels with the European color matched insert. I guess it depends on if you are subject to regular state inspections and whether your shop will fail you for it. I don't think cops are looking for missing side reflectors to pull you over, but maybe somewhere they are.

It is not, but many people do it. It's also not legal to be driving with anything other than amber or white lights on the front. Blue, red, or any color changing/flashing will lead to a ticket. No cops are really paying attention to the side reflector, but if someone is looking for someone/something to blame in an accident or create justifications for searching for other things it slightly raises the risk. Imo, tinted windshield and too dark windows are much higher risk.

Gotta be careful sending out Acura headlights with the jewel thingies in them. A lot of cats have no way to aim and set the jewel thingies correctly. If memory serves me, only two headlight modders out of zillions were capable of actually aiming and setting the jewel thingies correctly. I just can’t remember who they were but maybe a google search will help?

also. I’ve no idea why this is the case either. I just remember them saying that and none of the headlight modders ever addressing if it was bs or not. Which made me think it probably wasn’t bullshit. Then I saw jewel style head lights on my neighbors focus rs. Looked amazing. But he did say night time was a crap shoot because he discovered what I was talking about. Seems to take some expertise and experience aiming and setting those thingies. He said one side would illuminate way way better than the other. It wasn’t an issue with bulbs going bad either. Just the jewel thingies being in incorrect alignment.

I’d ask the headlight modder if they’re capable of setting the thingies correctly or if they can assure you the thingies won’t shift any when they take apart the housing.
