BMW 5 Series G30 G31 G38 · F90 M5 Ikon Style Dual Color U-Bar LED Headlights — 2017–2020 · White · Yellow DRL · Illuminating Blue X Accent · 6000LM · 36W · 6000K · E-Mark · DOT · RoHS Certified · 1-Year Warranty · Direct Replacement
The G30 is the one BMW got right. Proportions, interior, the way it drives — nothing in the segment matched it for the years it was on sale. The factory headlight is the one part that doesn\'t make an argument for itself.
The GlobalPace Ikon Style Dual Color U-Bar LED Headlight Kit changes that without touching anything else. Clear lens over black housing. Bold U-shaped angel eye DRL rings framing each dual projector bowl — the Ikon signature that reads as deliberate at any distance. A long stretched X set into the center of each projector lens that sits dark in standby and illuminates vivid blue the moment the DRLs fire. And DRL color switching from the factory high beam stalk, white to yellow, with no apps and no added hardware.
On a Carbon Black or Bluestone Metallic G30 the blue X burning at the center of each projector is the detail people notice before they work out what\'s different. On a Glacier Silver or Alpine White 540i the U-bar rings read clean against the paint and the yellow mode turns a car people already respect into one they ask about.

WHAT THIS KIT IS — AND WHAT IT REPLACES
This is a direct replacement for the complete headlight assemblies on the 2017–2020 BMW 5 Series G30 Sedan, G31 Touring, G38, and F90 M5 — the full units that mount at the front corners of the car and deliver low beam, high beam, DRL, and turn signal functions. These replace your entire OEM headlight assembly on both sides. Same mounting points. Same connectors. Zero modification to the factory harness or body required.
THE ILLUMINATING BLUE X — DARK IN STANDBY, VIVID BLUE ON ACTIVATION
A long stretched X sits at the center of each projector lens — through the clear lens in standby it reads as a clean dark element against the black housing interior, giving nothing away when the car is parked.
The moment the DRLs activate it illuminates vivid blue, firing simultaneously across both housings alongside the U-bar rings in whichever color you\'ve set. It\'s a before-and-after that changes the whole character of the front end — restrained with the car off, unmistakable with it running. On a G30 specifically, where the factory front end is clean but anonymous, it\'s the element that makes people look twice at a car they\'ve driven past a hundred times.
THE IKON U-BAR ANGEL EYE DRL ARCHITECTURE
Bold U-shaped angel eye DRL rings frame each dual projector bowl — the Ikon signature that reads as considered and architecturally premium at every viewing distance.
Through the clear lens in standby both rings read as precise dark geometric elements against the black housing interior, creating a refined daytime presence before any LED has activated. On activation they fire across both housings at full saturation, with the blue X lit at the center of each projector beneath them.
THE DUAL COLOR DRL SYSTEM — WHITE · YELLOW ON DEMAND
Two DRL modes. One headlight kit. No additional hardware of any kind.
Everything runs through the factory high beam stalk — no apps, no remotes, no Bluetooth modules, no OBDII dongle, no wiring taps.
▸ 5 high beam flashes — crisp clean white — factory-sharp daily character
▸ 6 high beam flashes — warm yellow — European presence and fog visibility
The color holds until you switch it. Set it in the driveway or change it at a light.
THE YELLOW MODE
Six flashes. Warm yellow firing through both U-bar rings with the blue X lit at the center of each projector — a warm and cool composition that reads as deliberate from any following distance. On an executive sedan it\'s the detail that makes the car look chosen rather than specced. Six flashes from the stalk you already have.
THE STARTUP ANIMATION
The startup animation fires on every ignition cycle — sweeping across the U-bar DRL architecture with the blue X illuminating alongside before settling into your chosen color. A front end moment that plays every time the car comes to life.
THE DUAL PROJECTOR ARCHITECTURE
Each housing carries dual focused projector lenses — precise output for both low and high beam with a clean defined cutoff. 6,000 lumens of 36W output at 6000K delivers crisp cool white beam character in every driving condition.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I switch between white and yellow?
Through the factory high beam stalk — five flashes for white, six for yellow. No apps or additional hardware. The color holds until you switch it again.
Does the blue X illuminate?
Yes — it sits dark in standby and illuminates vivid blue the moment the DRLs activate, staying lit for the duration of DRL operation alongside whichever color you\'ve set.
I have Icon Adaptive LED headlights — will the adaptive function still work?
The headlights install and function normally, but adaptive cornering won\'t carry over — no aftermarket headlight replicates BMW\'s adaptive steering, which requires OEM hardware. If keeping adaptive cornering matters to you, factory headlights are the only way to retain it.
Does this fit cars with factory Laserlight?
No — this kit is designed for factory standard LED and Icon Adaptive LED builds only. Send us your VIN before ordering and we\'ll confirm your configuration.
Does this fit the 2021+ LCI G30?
No — this kit fits 2017–2020 pre-LCI builds only. The LCI generation uses a different headlight configuration.
Is there a sequential turn signal?
No — the turn signal is a static amber flash on every indication, road-legal and precise. The startup animation runs on the DRL architecture on ignition.
Is it plug and play?
Yes — direct replacement using factory mounting points and connectors, with no drilling, cutting, or harness modification. Professional installation is recommended.
Will this trigger a check control message?
On some G30 build configurations a check control warning may appear after installation — resolved quickly via BimmerCode or any BMW-compatible OBDII tool in about five minutes. Message us before initiating any return and we\'ll walk you through it.
What if I have an issue after installation?
Message us through before initiating any return. The large majority of installation questions are resolved within one message exchange.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION STEPS
01 — Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait 60 seconds before beginning any work on the lighting circuit.
02 — Open the hood and locate the headlight assembly retaining bolts and clips. Remove any front fascia trim clips required for access.
03 — Disconnect the factory wiring harness connectors by pressing the release tab firmly on each plug before pulling.
04 — Remove the OEM assembly and test-fit the new headlight before final mounting. Reconnect all harness connectors and temporarily reconnect the battery to verify all functions — dual color DRL switching, blue X illumination, low beam, high beam, turn signal, and startup animation — before securing any hardware.
05 — Confirm the 5 flash and 6 flash color switching works on both sides before securing hardware.
06 — Secure all mounting hardware to factory torque specification and reconnect the battery for final check.
07 — Professional installation by a licensed automotive technician is strongly recommended if you are not comfortable working with vehicle electrical systems.
