Configuring RGB Headlights

Recently bought an X3M and the previous owner had rgb headlights and are yellow. I personally prefer the oem white but I figured out that there was a Bluetooth controller near the front driver side windshield wipers. Any ideas on how I can connect to it and just change the color?

it looks like the horizon motorsport controller. Is there a qr code on the side? Maybe alex@horizonmotorsport can confirm.

Hey sorry just saw this, but this isn't from us. We haven't sold RGB controllers for over 2 years now. Just wasn't a fan of the app/the lowered brightness.

I believe the app that was used when we did offer RGB modules was called something like "colorful lights" or something really simple on the app store. Might be worth looking into.

The only what I could find was this: https://bimmereuro.com/products/rgb-...m3-m4-4-series
Try to contact them if any "controller" (I believe they mean that BT blackbox itself) exist, or what app you should use. I wouldn't be surprised that the previous owner kept some very simple wireless (BT?) controller as included in home "ambient" sets, like so: https://www.led-zdroj.cz/fotky47535/...1324_sadrt.jpg

Bouchy Great find. BimmerEuro’s looks exactly like mine when I was taking a deeper look at it yesterday. I also replaced the fuse thinking it could be a fuse issue but I’ll reach out to BimmerEuro for a solution because that just might be the answer
