So I have ordered ALL xenon bulbs for my car and the ONLY one left that is the UGLY AMBER is the LED above the turnsignal bulb. I have called bmw parts, service, and corporate; they all tell me that if you want to replace that you have to replace the housing. Well F that!! If you can get into a e90 housing with a heat gun you can with the e92 as well!!!

Has anyone got in there to see what size bulb that is? If not I may be the 1st one to try it...

Here is a pic of the bult sent to me by another member:

It's gonna be a lot of work, i'm guessing u'll have to bake the headlight housing to opening it, then use a solder to remove the led and put a white one in its place. I might might have to contact bmw to find out exactly what type of LED it is.
Also, can i ask what bulb you've replace the front turn signals (PY24W) with?

I kinda like it. It gives some contrast, but is not always illuminated. So its completely clear when the lights are off, but gives of fthe amber light when illuminated...

As an alternative, have you thought about just cutting the power to that LED? I havn't been keeping up with the E92 lighting setup, but what's the purpose of that light? If it's not the turn signal, and you don't need it, probably a lot easier to get rid of the power to that. Might also be a jumper just for that light in the fuse box.

cutting power to the LEDs might bring up the error message; the car will think the led's have blown.

I have the same question. Where did you find a PY24W in hyper white?

thats the same place where the description says its for PY21W.. ... not PY24W

the PY24W is much smaller then PY21W.
