How to order the clear headlight replacement???
Hey guys,
I want to replace my Amber corner light in the headlight with the clear light and see where it is something people have pics of when picking their car up at the dealerships. What exactly do I need to request to have that switched out? I'm a rookie car owner so don't judge a stupid question. :-) |

I just install these and I have also used them in the past on my E36M3, http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/c...n=924628217102
Another old school option which I had done before these were available is to lightly mist the amber bulbs with high temp paint. I used plastic-kote Engine Enamel, Aluminum No. 207. If you used too much and they're opaque just wipe off w/some paint thinner and try again. Others have used LEDs. Last edited by omasou; 09-18-2016 at 09:15 PM.. |

http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1292702 -c EDIT- just realized, that in addition to the LED light show on startup, all the LED's (front and rear), do the flicker, as the car periodically does a light check. I spoke with my coder, he says he can code out the light check. I'll follow up. I'll try to post a video of the light show on startup. If this was all there was, it would be fine. Maybe even cool. But I don't like the fact that the lights randomly blink while driving. Not cool. -c

I like how these LEDs look. I just refuse to have flickering issues and bulb warnings. Anyone have LEDs without problems?? I feel like everyone with LEDs eventually gets some sort of problems. |

I ran these LEDs for almost 2 years with no issues and I will be installing them in my m240i soon to see how they act. I will keep everyone updated. http://deautokey.com/product/bmw-f2x...e-turn-signals I looked into the amazon leds as they are a good price but people have reported flickering while driving and errors on and off so I just figured I paid a little bit more for the deAutoLEDs but am fully happy with how they look and act. Has anyone had the amazon leds installed for more than a year with no issues? I might buy the amazon leds and compare them since I am going to be removing the tails anyway.
