2009 e92 clear turn signals

just finished my lil project on clearing out the front turn signals from orange to clear


this is t6he easiest mod anyone can do to their bulbs to make the orange go away


still a lil bit on the yellow side but its a hell lot better than the orange


all u need is a dremel and a 300 grit scrub wheel

take the turn signal bulbs out and use the dremel with the attachment and sand away at the gay ass paint on the bulb and u will have a clear bulb

PIAA makes bulbs that will shine white and blink white... can also get them for the side signals...

Bav carries them...

(I'm assuming the turn signal bulbs are single or dual filament)...

Guess I'm losing touch with these damn things!!!

I'm finding the E90/91/92/93 has many different nuances than all the others (3-series)... Which I can say I have fortunately/unfortunately owned and can aswer many a question on...

But I did find this... http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99922

They make good stuff... High quality and reliable...

Question Front Turn signals

Sorry for being such a noob.....I am looking to replace all the turn signal bulbs (front, side and back) and make them white in my 2008 328i coupe (E92 version? not sure which the euro and what the numbers mean). I have the side and back ones and am looking for the front ones that sit next to the headlights. Anyone have any idea where I can get them or if they even make them? I spoke to a bunch of shops around me and they said they don't even make them yet. Any help would be appreciated....thanks!!

where can I get some for the E90 (headlight signal bulbs)? I heard the PIAA ones are very Blue.
I hate the orange look, I know there're silver bulbs but they still blink orange.

They'd release the 328 supercharger before these bulbs
