I would say how about disable DRL? Fix your problem and save the light bulb

I would say look up the bulb number and see if you can find an error free LED equivalent.

They should be H11 bulbs in the DRLs in your E53. Ziza super whites are a close match to the 6000k HIDs found in your X, HERE is a link to them in the H11 size.

Also side note, if you're ever looking for a bulb, the guide found HERE is very helpful.

These didn't fit in mine, the 90 degree connector was not a match - do you know what it is called when it is a simple straight-out, two prong connector?

I basically need to swap out my entire light order, got D2Cs that didn't fit, as well.
