Replacing Lights Around Car - POINTERS

Hello Everyone, my nam is Rigo and i am new to this forum.

I have a white 328i coupe that i just bought 2 weeks ago. I want ot replace pretty much every "amber" light on the car for white... Ive figuered otu some of the things but needs some basic instrcutions on how to replace somwe other. I am hoping some of oyou can help me out.

Here is a picture of a white 328 like mine with red circles arounf what i need to know.

1. Bumber replector - i need to know how to remove this from the car.... do i just push it in?

2. Tirangular fender light - How do i remove this and can i just replace the armber bulb to white... or is it fused together?

3. Small amber LED on the corner of the headlight - Can this be exchanged for a white one? How can i get ot this?

4. Front Headlight amber turning signal - How do i get to this bulb? do i have to take out the headlight?


Thanks guys... any help would be appreciated. My previous car was american so everything was prety much clipped on.

I wouldn't really follow this one too much; all I did was take a blow dryer to it for a few minutes and slowly pushed it from the outside (VERY CAREFULLY). The bumper section closest to the wheel is very fragile. Then just make sure all the tape is off and clean with a rag then stick on the new color matched reflectors (www.jbspeed.com for the reflectors).

2. Not sure
3. Not sure
4. Not sure


Good luck!

For the reflector:

This video will show you how to remove the sidemarker:



The front turn signals are not available for the car and the LEDs are hardwired to the headlight so you would need to open the headlight to remove it- which I don't recommend as the headlight is sealed together.

1. Get them painted body color at the body shop. They're removable

2. Push them toward the rear and lift out. You can replace them with the UHP LED bulbs in amber or white, your choice.

3. You can actually disconnect them yourself but it's a bit tricky. Get in contact with Luis@OSS Designs. He's located in Miami and can take care of that no prob. He can do your angel eyes at the same time as well.

4. Front turn signal, get in touch with Luis@OSS. He can do the LED turn signal conversion since it's a custom setup:
