e92 Corner Lights from Bimmian?

kennesawga335cp · 01-14-2007, 10:22 AM

I am about to purchase the "super white" lights from bimmian t0 replace the ugly amber front corner lights, the side turnsignal lights, and the rear lights. Here is a link:http://www.bimmian.com/SOL/92/1

Has anyone done this?? If so do you have pics? Do you think quality of Solaris is good?

Thanks!!!

i dont know how the e92 ones are
but i have front,side,and rear superwhite turn sigs for my e90, and there hard to see in daytime, but in the night there pretty bright and look sick
replacing the front ones are crucial to get rid of that amber color while drivin wit halos on
in all, i say its a good product

Do you have an pics or video of your setup?

kennesawga335cp · 01-14-2007, 02:57 PM

glad yours are working good cause i just ordered mine. will post pics when done!

Shinchan · 01-14-2007, 10:13 PM

careful, the front turning signal bulb list in that website for e92 is wrong. the front for E92 is PY24w, not PY21W listed.

This is what they listed if you try to purchase:
Solaris Invisibulbs
Pair For Any Vehicle
1156/150 AKA: PY21W Style
Amber Illuminating Mirror Bulbs

damn! i knew it would be too good to be true

seems to be impossible to find some clear PY24W bulbs!

Shinchan · 01-15-2007, 07:25 AM

just IMO..

why would anyone want superwhite turn signal bulb for the E92? Unless you fig out how to remove the yellow led light sit on top corner of the light... otherwise, at night, the yellow still shows up on the upper corner.. just give u a very multi colorful display of lights at night time... .. ur turn signal is white.. and yet, that yellow color led is lite up too... see my red circle in the pic? thats coming from LED.... so.. unless u know how to remove that.. and change that... its kinda pointless to do superwhite.

i just ordered these from bimmian. i called the dealership and they have the right bulb. as far as led in corner i wasnt aware of this. what is its function? if its just an accent light ill get it removed when i put in other lights...

Shinchan · 01-15-2007, 09:54 PM

LOL.. are u sure? Most dealer are not too bright. I took the bulb out myself... they are about 1/5 size of 1156. PY21W (1156) is for the back, not the front.

Do keep us posted...

Do a search on PY24W on the forum.. you will find that numerous ppl has confirmed the bulb size for the front.

yea, do keep us posted. i'll be very interested to see if this indeed works! when i emailed bimmian to confirm the bulb size they ask me to send them a picture of the PY24W bulb... so it seem to me they don't really know what the differences are between the bulbs.

bavarian19 · 01-16-2007, 05:55 PM

I ordered some for my E90, and was really unimpressed. The color of the bulb when illuminated is SIGNIFICANTLY different than OEM. The solaris bulbs illuminate to a true orange color instead of the OEM amber. I did not like the color, and immediately sold them...

I went with the white not the orange bulbs so hopefully these will be better. regarding the size I will be confirming this with Bimmian in the AM. Will let you guys know what comes of it...

BenMW · 01-17-2007, 12:58 AM

Keep us updated...thanks

6SpeedMan · 01-19-2007, 12:29 AM

So what is the update, is it worth it.

Shinchan · 01-19-2007, 10:51 PM

As i suspected... Bimmian remove the E92 front corner bulb from the website. As soon as you try to add the bulb to your cart, they came out empty...

So.. no replacement bulb yet for the front...

VapoR · 01-23-2007, 02:40 AM

will the solaris side turn signal blubs work for the e92?
if so how easy is the mod? im thinking about getting the blue solaris side turn bulbs

3thirty5 · 01-23-2007, 05:54 PM

The posts above already mentioned that these bulbs will not work for the e92.
