Front signal bulbs

[E36ic4Me]

Ok, I'm sure this has been discussed to death but I can't seem to get a 100% straight answer. I want to replace my OEM orange turn signal bulbs with Stealth Bulbs (look silver but illuminate amber). I either cannot find them on bulb compatibility sites OR I get conflicting part numbers / fitments. My car is an 05' 325ci Cabrio. Anyone know any certainties on this topic. I'm about to go cross-eyed searching. Ugh!

If you want stealth bulbs you should probably go LED, they don't look orange until they flash but you do have to wire a resistor to it so you don't get hyper flash because of the low power intake confusing the car. Resistors are cheap on amazon just look for the highest rated ones. All in all including the LED and the resister kit you're looking at $40 if you don't cheap out on the LED which I don't recommend you do because then they don't last. I personally like super bright LEDs because some drivers are blind so I go with ZEVO LEDS

Yes...Leothelion092..he knows.....In almost all German cars, since the Germans added a warning light on the dash..about a blown light bulb.(1985)...Replacement light bulbs have had to be specific...for replacement. Non GERMAN specific light-bulbs (amps-watts) of similar aftermarket or American market made type..send the warning light on...on your dash. LED aftermarket lights will have different amp and voltage measurement...not recognized by your car......thus you get the 'bulb-out' warning light on your instrument panel!

Go on RealOEM. BMW dealers sell these bulbs for about $14/pr.
