LED angel eye yellowish

2011 LED Adaptive Headlights - driver side DRL turned yellowish. Is there any fix for this?
I restored the lens, changed the LED module and no luck.

Any way to fix or buy new assembly?

When you say "LED angel eyes" do mean OEM angel eyes with LED bulbs or did you crack the headlights out and replace the original angel eyes with an LED version?
If you just changed out the bulbs, you can try swapping the bulbs side to side to see if that makes any difference before running out and buying new ones.

If you installed full LED angel eyes then I am guessing you will need to replace.

My ‘11 335is comes with LED module which is lit from the bottom. There is no H8 bulb.

When I got my X1 the drivers headlight ring was bluish compared to the others which were white. The yellow phosphor had fallen off the LED giving me unfiltered blue.

Maybe your other modules are the problem?? They have a little blue tint to them.

I installed LUX 189 bulbs last year and I love them, the OEM's are yellow. BTW, I like the lip, it compliments the bumper.

I changed out the LEDS modules and still have the yellow tinge. It’s most likely the Crystal or the corona ring
