4 Series (NON-LED) turn signal bulbs

For the past 8 months I have been searching for a stealth incandescent turn signal bulb for my 4 series. I have found a ton of LEDs and currently have Weisslicht bulbs, but due to nobody knowing how to code in my area (including myself) they hyperflash. I would like to know if anyone knows of a link that will lead me to the bulb I need for the above. I have contacted a few companies, i.e. Bimmian and Phillips, but the conversation ends as soon as I tell them I have a 4 series.

thanks

How about BMW? I have silver bulbs in my GT.

PY24W in silver is part number 63217161306. They're out of the X6M.

Good luck changing them. Those bulbs are the absolute worst things in the world to change. Do you at least have a view of them in the 4? On the X5 I was working blind and in a very confined space and it took like an hour each to get the pins lined up.

Oh yeah, and keep in mind, they aren't chrome. They're just silver.

Solaris used to have them in chrome, but I'm not finding them anyplace.

I've experimented with about 4 different LED's. Has taken me about 5 mins changing each bulb. Def. not a problem on my 4. One of the easiest mods for our cars, save for maybe the black Kidney Grilles, which also took about 5 mins. each. I'm going to order the bulbs through Tisher, seems like a good deal.

Come down to Socal I will code for you!

So what did you do with the various LEDs you tried?

Maybe someone could help you over teamviewer or suchlike if there's no one local? You provide the kit and hook it up and then they jump on a session to code your car. Just a thought.
