Stinking Marker lights....
 

Ok...I have a front left marker light that just went out....what is the upgrade here?

I have a 4.4i Sport, so should I go with silver bulbs to lose the YOKE or go LED?

Will the panel please advise.....

Thank you in advance.

I just ordered the Stealth bulbs from bimmerfreak.com a couple of days ago. I will let you know how that comes out.

I'd go with silver. Got mine from pro street lighting off ebay for around $25 for the fronts, $12 for the rears. They look better than the orange beneath the sport package or 4.6/4.8 lenses.

ne pics we can c at night and day lit and unlit?

do it, very easy to change out. the bulbs aren't that expensive and the new look is 100x better

Do you have your old link? I cannot find any.
 

I was just on Fleabay and did not see any.... :dunno:

Do you have the old link in your ebay profile. I do not see these guys out there.

Here is what Stealthbulbs will look like on the side, before & after installation. BTW, they are as bright or brighter than OEM when activated. I am very happy with Stealthbulbs.

where did you find them?

I got mine a few weeks ago from Jude at bimmerfreak.com http://www.bimmerfreak.com/e53products.htm

Here's a shot of it lit during the day.

I think Pro Street Lighting has a website...http://www.prostreetlighting.com/english/

Check the catalog there.

Edit: thought you meant turn signals, I call those little lights on the side position lights. But you need some silver bulbs for your signals if you don't already have them!

A few more pics of this 1 minute mod:

JV is RIGHT. Why do we wait to do these easy mods????

Can the front and rear turn signal bulbs be replaced easily? How?

Dude, you got a nice ass camera. AND you've reminded me to get those side marker/position lights snapped in!

I think for your 05 you may encounter differences with your DIY, cause you don't have that plastic trim piece below your lights. Rears are just a simple twist and pull and reverse to replace. You will need chewing gum as the article states for the fronts!

HA! thanks. DO IT!
