I wasn't able to find any info on what bulb creates the amber light so I just ordered a cracked 2014 gl550 headlight from eBay. I'm going to open it up and get to the bottom of the amber eyebrow issue. I'll keep everyone posted.
Did u open them up ?
Please let me know if u find the answer to that. Thanks
Hey. So I end up taking my old headlight apart to see how it works. There's a little yellow led light that turns on and shoots yellow light to that lens tube that goes across the headlight. I don't believe that you can change it to white by programming! Looks like this part needs to be replaced or that little buld needs to be replaced (resoldered) with different type. I'm still thinking if it worth it to take lens apart to do it. Will keep you posted! Thanks

I’m a tuner head at heart and grew up in the white or clear reflector changeover era. But I have better things to do with my time and money than possibly destroy my adaptive headlight housings for this vanity item on the 550. Buying some euro housings will be the alternative until a rock breaks one and your insurance only replaces it with a US spec one and you are mismatched.

No just have the shop buy another euro light. I nearly went the Euro lights the other month when a headlight control unit died that was until it saw it’s a 10min job to swap out a new control unit and $40ish.
