Going to Bimmerfest? Sick of your amber front turn signals?

eclipsisNA · 04-25-2009, 03:20 PM

If you're answer to both questions is yes, then stop by the Premier Mobile Group/Eclipse Motors booth @ Bimmerfest and I'll remove the orange coating from your front turn signals for free. Obviously the only thing you need to bring is your front turn signals. Ask for Eric from Eclipse and I'll take care of you. Here's what you do to remove your turn signals:

1. Turn your wheels as far to the right (for the driver side bulbs) and as far to the left (for the passenger side bulbs) as possible so you have sufficient access to the wheel well.
2. Remove the vented cover with the two circular tabs shown on Part 6 in the diagram below:

3. Once the cover is removed, rotate the flat tab shown as Part 10 in the diagram below to remove the turn signal socket:

Wallah! Bring the two bulbs to me and I'll take care of the rest.

Ummm... real stupid question here...

Don't you have to have orange turn signals? Are you replacing them with white (or chrome) bulbs that illuminate orange? That would be cool, but I don't want white turn signals....

cheapa55 · 04-27-2009, 05:26 PM

another dumb question. is this for e90 or e92?

nlakind · 04-27-2009, 06:22 PM

Likewise.

I have my own booth at the show, but my car and I will be at the Premier Mobile booth.

This is for E92. I'm shaving the orange off with Citrus Paint Thinner and 2500 grit sandpaper. The resulting bulb is clear while it'll blink a soft amber, like in the picture below. Credit goes to MITE46 for the pictures.
