hey guys i have a 95 bmw 525i and im thinking of changing the sidemarkers on it. (because i dont like orange :D )

i was wondering if anyone has installed the same thing im talking about. because i saw these clear corners for 30 dollars a pair and they look nice. how do i install them? do i just take the screw out? and if i do, what kind of clear corner bulb should i get?

should i use the same PIAA sidemarker bulb all my honda owner friends are using?

or is there some other brand? let me know guys, i need feedback :help

I replaced the side-markers on my car along with the clear front and rear lights... if you have orange lenses on the rear I would recommend replacing those at the same time as well. It's very easy (on the e39 anyway) to replace them... just pop them out with a flathead screwdriver and replace. Takes about 30 seconds. As for bulbs, I went with PIAA superwhites because the standard autoparts store bulbs flashed really dull. Good luck.

saw your email.

the sidemarkers are pretty easy. just take out the screw, unclip, and unlock socket. installation is in reverse order.

corner lights are a lil pain in the ass. just remember there are three screws.
