Rear Turn Signal

I saw a 335 today in Pasadena, pretty modded. And he had white rear turn signals. I searched, and looked through the DIYs, does anyone have any idea how to do this mod?
Any help is appreciated.

E90, 91, 92, or 93?

I know I have an e90 with Blacklines and I can change the bulb for the turn signal to whatever color I want because the lens over this bulb is clear.

Were they LED or just like the OEM flash only white?

JLevis has the LED version in either clear or amber. I believe you can also purchase the 1157 colored bulbs as a replacement to the OEM.

Remove the carpeted covers to gain access to the rear taillight housing. There is a clip located roughly in the center of the lamp housing. A light squeeze will release the assembly giving you access to the bulbs. The 1157 bulb will be the right or left lower bulb ........ the largest one I guess. Gently push the bulb down and turn counter clockwise to remove it. If you find yourself forcing it then you're doing it wrong. The bulb will come out very easy. Hope this made sense ......

If you go the LED route then you'll need to get with JLevis otherwise the colored/non-colored bulbs can be found at most auto parts stores.
