Blacklines Question ?

Have just bought blacklines in USA for e90 and noticed that they have clear bulbs in the indicaters is this right or do I fit yellow ones for UK roads ??

By the way I am bringing them back to the UK to fit to my new (320d, M Sport ,Edition, carbon black ) due 13th June , its just that they are cheaper out here ($245.00 )===(125.00 pounds sterling )aprox.

You should be able to pick them up on German Ebay (I did) for about the same price delivered and they will definitely be Euro spec.

Iirc there is one part number for the OEM blacklines, as such I see no problem with UK compliance for the part you've purchased in the USA.

Yeah once you swap in the amber bulbs, should be perfectly legal.

Make certain the clear bulb is in the region of the brake light. Otherwise your brakes will be dimmer than they should. After you're finished installing them activate your emergency flashers and verify that the turn signals are, in fact, amber. If so you're good to go show them puppies off to unsuspecting motorist.
