Hi guys, seen this on an x5m red colour makes it look evil

Looks like they opened the glass and replaced the rings with red ones.

Anyone knows if colour change available if we change the module or any other ideas ??

Dont think opening the glass is a good idea as it will steam up in future

It's all personal preference-IMHO it cheapens the look of the truck. You should be able to get a module that can switch colors back and forth between stock and red. I don't know if you'd want to run red 100% of the time. That being said there are more vendors than I can count making these type of retrofits.
OSS and One Eighty are some of the more reputable companies.
Here is the link to one eighty:

Yes Im in two minds about it, like other guys said it may look good on a Civic but not on X6M

Thanks for the info, will speak to them if they do a switchable module white/red ..

You could probably use it just for show or when on drag strip, would be interesting to see if anyone knows a way for switchable white/red module install without having to open the glass it self

I suppose one could but most likely wont... I recall back in the day when the illuminated washer nozzles were all the rage among certain folks and the PD had a field day pulling people over for them. I suspect this would not be much different.

You can purchase those headlights in the standard color. It is just difficult and close to impossible to get a response from the vendor.

The Dodge crowd controls it through the phone as well. I believe there are seven or so colors they are able to choose from. #ROYGBIV
