Silver Signal Bulbs for 2004 330Ci

[jasrop]

I just bought a 2004 330Ci with the M Sport Package II. I am just starting to do some modifications to it.

I want to buy Silver front turn signal bulbs but am unsure which ones will fit my car. I looked at the "Solaris InvisiBulbs" but on www.bimmian.com it says that they fit all cars but the 2004 Coupe. I could not find any data about what models the Phillips Silvervision fit.

Are the bulbs in the 2004 coupes much different?

Could someone let me know what bulbs fit my car and where I could purchase them online.

Thanks for the help!

Check out this thread for the bulbs I purchased.

Personally, I never liked the idea of painted bulbs, which is what Bimmian is selling, (if I'm not mistaken).

I have these bulbs: click here. They have been working flawlessly ever since I got them for the rear of my car. They blink amber, with brightness close to the OEMs. I didn't switch out the fronts because I wanted to leave a bit of contrast. I can take pictures tomorrow.

Just a question: I'd really like to put these under the clears I have coming in next week, but someone was telling me that they are illeagal? (The ones that flash blue or 'white' light). Do they just 'look' blue but flash amber? Or was that 2 different types of bulb they sell? The amber ones looked nice either way.

Can someone explain that, or is the guy fulla crap? (This is in the states, not EU).

The guy is not necessarily full of crap. However, you may want to check your local laws, since it varies from state to state.

For example, California law states:

24953. (a) Any turn signal system used to give a signal of
intention to turn right or left shall project a flashing white or
amber light visible to the front and a flashing red or amber light
visible to the rear.

So, in California, an officer of the law may cite (fix-it ticket) you for having white blinker lights in the rear.

Hope this helps.

I took out one of the signal lights on my car and it appears that the bulbs are different in the 2004 coupe.

It is a 12V21W bulb, part number WY21W. I found a japanese website that lists a Philips Silvervision bulb with this part number:

Does anyone know if this bulb will work and where to buy Philips Silvervisions online? Or do you know of any other manufacturers who make the bulb I need.

Thanks for the help!

I finally found the bulbs I need! SilverFusion just recently came out with bulbs for my car.
