What color is the LED pathway lights from your mirrors?
Since we are the 2nd owners of the 4.8is, I know that the previous owner replaced all the regular bulbs with Xenon match colored bulbs. I noticed that the pathway lights are bluish also. I doubt that BMW put blue lights here. Are they really yellowish on the stock cars? Blue light is actually harder to see at night so I don't get great lighting from those mirror lights. Wondering if this is stock?

Do yours actually light up the way or are they just really dim? Mine seem bluish white. Like the handles on my 740i light up 4000k white and seem really bright. These mirror lights look like 6000k bluish white. Can you specify a color temp so that can help me?

No I can't identify a color temp. All I can say is they are bone stock and that's how I like them. Check realoem. They use the same bulbs on all models/variations.

stock is amber, but I think they can be upgraded to LED white (hopefully around 4300K)

they are definitely not blue

Your bulb is amber or the housing is amber?

Housing is clear and bulb is not amber, it's simply a normal bulb emitting the normal yellowish light...
