Your Custom DRL Look
A yellow light signature against dark paint. Crisp white DRLs with silver wheels. A bold blue accent on your next project car. Small changes can give a vehicle a very different character—but imagining the complete look from separate product photos takes some guesswork.
Our new DRLsDirect 3D Car Configurator gives you a place to explore those ideas together. Choose a vehicle, experiment with Daytime Running Lights, adjust paint and wheel finishes, and view your combination from different angles and in different environments.
Built for automotive enthusiasts, it brings the creative side of custom DRL lighting into an interactive browser experience.

Explore Custom DRL Colors in 3D
Your daytime running lights are an important part of your vehicle's visual identity. Discover how different light signatures transform the appearance of your favorite car.
Compare Presets or Create Your Own Color
The DRL palette includes Crystal White, Gold Yellow, Amber, Signal Red, Royal Blue, and Neon Green. Select a swatch to change the appearance of the selected model's existing DRL elements.
You can also open the custom color picker and adjust a shade visually or enter a HEX value. This makes it easy to explore a specific color direction alongside your preferred body and wheel colors.
If you have been comparing BMW DRL colors, try a BMW M4 G82 or BMW M3 G80 and move between yellow, white, and blue previews. Keep the other settings consistent to see how each color changes the front-end appearance.
Add DRL Glow
The DRL Glow switch adds a soft bloom around the daytime running lights, helping you explore a more atmospheric presentation—especially in darker scenes.
Try enabling glow in Nocturne Studio and reducing Lighting brightness. Then switch to a brighter setting to see how the same color reads in a different presentation.
Experiment with different lighting combinations to find a signature that complements your vehicle's design.
Coordinate Paint, Wheels, and Interior
Your DRL color is only one part of the overall design. Bring your styling ideas together by experimenting with different finishes and color combinations.
Body Colors & Paint Finishes
Combine preset or custom body colors with three paint finishes: Candy, Uni, and Matte.
- Candy: Metallic appearance with a glossy clear coat.
- Uni: Nonmetallic gloss finish.
- Matte: Softer surface reflections.
Dark paint can emphasize the DRLs, while lighter colors change the contrast around the headlights.
Wheel Colors & Finishes
Customize the wheels already fitted to the selected 3D model, then choose between Original, Gloss, Satin, and Matte.
Color and finish can be adjusted independently. Compare sharper gloss reflections with softer satin or matte surfaces while keeping your chosen wheel color.
Original restores the model's original wheel finish.
Interior Color Options
Supported vehicles also include primary and/or secondary interior color controls.
Available customization zones depend on the selected model, and the interface displays the options implemented for that vehicle.
Explore a coordinated cabin color scheme alongside your exterior styling.
See Your Configuration in Different Environments
Lighting changes how a vehicle looks. Explore your custom DRL configuration in four distinctive 3D environments.
Coastal Dusk
A coastal road with calm water and a cloudy evening sky. Explore your configuration in an atmospheric outdoor setting.
Nocturne Studio
A dark automotive studio with dedicated lighting and an optional floor reflection. Ideal for dramatic lighting previews.
Industrial Warehouse

Concrete Studio
A daylit concrete environment with an angled window facade and a distinctive architectural atmosphere.
You can also choose Studio, Sunset, Dawn, Night, Warehouse, or City lighting presets within the shared studio setting.
The Lighting brightness slider lets you explore moodier or brighter presentations. Nocturne Studio's separate Floor Reflection switch allows you to include or remove the reflected vehicle beneath the car.

Find Your Angle and Save the Look
Manual Controls & Automatic Rotation
Move around the vehicle and zoom in or out to inspect your configuration from different perspectives.
A front view emphasizes the DRLs, while a three-quarter angle brings the lights, body finish, and wheels into the same composition.
The rotation menu offers Car rotation, which turns the vehicle, and Camera orbit, which moves the camera around it.
Stop rotation when you find an angle you like, or use Reset car orientation without resetting your selected colors.
High-Resolution PNG Screenshots
The Screenshot tool saves the vehicle and scene as a PNG without the interface controls.
Exports support up to 3,840 pixels on the longest edge, subject to device graphics limits.
Save multiple configurations to compare them side by side or share your ideas with other automotive enthusiasts.
Use It on Desktop or Mobile
Explore the configurator in your browser with an interface designed for desktop and mobile devices.
Responsive Interface
A side panel on desktop and a compact bottom menu on mobile keep the customization controls accessible. Collapse the interface for a clearer view of the vehicle.
Graphics Profiles
Choose between Performance, Standard, and High profiles to balance presentation quality with device capabilities.
Advanced Settings
Adjust render resolution, anti-aliasing, shadow quality, and reflection quality where applicable. MSAA options extend to 8× on supported hardware.
Standard preserves the default presentation. Higher settings increase graphics demands, so Performance can be useful when browsing on a less powerful device.

Turn Visual Inspiration into an Informed Product Choice
At DRLsDirect.com, we offer custom DRL boards for automotive lighting personalization. The configurator helps you explore the appearance you prefer before reviewing the relevant products.
Available DRLs lists board variants and, where provided, headlight compatibility and configuration information. It also links to the associated shop page when one is available.
The DRLsDirect 3D Car Configurator is a visualization tool, not a binding product configurator.
Screen colors, simulated glow, and materials are approximate previews. They do not guarantee exact real-world color, brightness, fitment, stock availability, or included components.
Paint, wheel, and interior adjustments are styling previews rather than purchasable options within the tool.
Always check the current product page for your vehicle, headlight version, available board colors, and package contents before ordering.
