RGB DLR LED replacements?

I know... this mod is ridiculous, and most probably illegal, but I just came across this and I am curious if anyone has tried these. I can't for the life of me find any info online, and stuff from aliexpress is always a dice roll much like the crap on Wish.

NONETHELESS, this seems like a funky mod that I would be interested in toying with if it's an easy install and only costs about 100$

I'm pretty sure Benzdude over on the W205 forum has installed these. You should crosspost over there and ask him.

Could get the boards that only temporarily show blue/red/purple and then to white, after unlocking the car. As opposed to always on.

do you control the color with your phone like the one in my link? The don’t mention anything about the app and that’s a bit sketchy.

That's the type of board I'm after. Do you happen to know where to get them? I only found one link on Aliexpress but the reviews indicated that particular one may be a bad idea.

Yes I happen to know either by looking at the board design if it will behave this way - by looking at the LED chips soldered to it. You can see if the board has both white and colored LEDs on it but the thing is, some of the boards were designed to change to white after 60 seconds and some after 3-6 seconds. Can you PM me the link to the one you were looking at? I will also tell you where I got mine but they were not on aliexpress, however I have found one seller who sells the same as I have on aliexpress.
