Small update for my car here. One small thing that I never liked the look of was the bright orange effect of the standard turn indicator lights at the front:



I just don't "get on" with the bright orange patches in what is otherwise a "clear" front headlight housing ....so I got these....



Fairly cheap for £10 (Halfrauds sell single bulbs for £8) and easy to swap over:



Here's what it looks like in the light housing:



The light also looks just as bright to my eye as the "standard" BMW ones when on:




....and fairly inconspicuous when off c.f. the originals:





I think I might try the Pearl/Chrome version of Osram Diadem in my other car to have a much better "clear" look but understand that light output is slightly lower on those.

Simple, quick "upgrade" for me (hopefully they'll last a long time )

The Philips Silver you're using, better because of lifetime or longevity?

(I'm assuming they're closest to the "Diadem Chrome" option, so price is similar)

Mainly for looks, fitted last August & no problems as of yet.
