Silver coated/clear bulbs that blink orange

Where can I pick these up on the cheap for rear blinkers? 7507 is the bulb number I believe...

Also, on my blacklines I have noticed between the split of the blinker (smoked area) and the 3 stripes, you can see in and see white where it should be red... 1156 red bulbs would fix this I presume? These available at the local stores?

We have them on our site for you under the Solaris page. I don't recommend going cheap with silver coated bulbs, some brands have too thick of a coating which causes the bulb to overheat and appear dim.

Yeah, I think all blacklines do this from a certain angle above the lights.

All aftermarket silver bulbs will eventually overheat and melt your sockets. The problem is that coating is too thick irregardless of what they tell you. The only one that does not have these issues are the OEM silver bulbs which should've came with your Blacklines. You can get the OEM silver PSY21W bulbs from TischerBMW

Wow that looks crazy! Also, searched all over Tischer... couldnt find it, tried searching the part number and all 8 E90 pages, electric portal and still nothing. You got a direct link?

Another option would be to go with LED bulbs, which will effectively hide the orange egg yolk effect...but drawback these need resistors to be wired in in order to avoid OBC error.
