e92 cornerning lights
I got some nice clear 6k bulbs for my 09 e92. However, I am still looking for some nice bulbs/mod that will closely match it. As of now, my headlights are white with a hue of blue, and my cornering light (everytime i turn or signal) is white yellowish. Definitely not as cool as the headlight.
By the way, can u guys also recommend me some side marker lights?? I'm looking for something that's white and if possible, flush against the car. Also, can I change the rear signal bulb to red? Does it require a resistor? And have we got any info on the front signal lights? I really hate the amber... Thanks in advance. |

Any superwhite / hyperwhite/ HID-look / blueish-white bulb in the cornering lamp won't match the output of a regular halogen bulb unless you go up in wattage. Since the cornering bulb usually isn't turned on for a significant period of time, you might not encounter heat issues with a 75W or 100W filament, but the on/off nature of that bulb will make short work of an overwatt bulb.
I wanted better output and did the most sensible thing by buying a pair of German-spec Narva Range Power H3 bulbs for the cornering lamps. The color temperature doesn't match that of the HID lenses, but the lights are only activated when turning and I appreciate the brighter output without having to worry about popping a bulb every 3-6 months. This is probably the best concession you can make for color temperature/intensity without going to an overwatt PIAA: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=220310152230 Last edited by Imperator; 08-02-2010 at 04:54 PM.. |

For the front turn signals you can go with the PSY24W led bulbs:
![]() You can go with the UHP leds in in the sides (white) and red for the rear turn signals no prob. The rears will require a Load EQ kit or you can use independent software coding to clear the error message affiliated with LEDs. |
