Question for people with OEM BMW Blackline taillights

Hey Guys, I searched and found nothing, so here is my question:

I just ordered a set of the E90 2008 (PRE-LCI) Blackline Tailights. My question is this. When you order them, do they come with bulbs installed? If not and you reuse the bulbs from your OEM taillights is the turn signal bulb yellow? Will my turn signal nw be yellow instead of blinking red as it was with the OEM tails? Should I buy the silver tinted yellow bulbs so that the yellow of the bulb doesnt show through the clear section of the new taillights?

Here is a vid I found that shows them blinking yellow at 0:38 into the video. (THIS IS NOT MY CAR OR MY VIDEO):



Alot of questions I know, but I figure someone that has a set of these should be able to answer easily. Thanks!

If you reuse your stock bulbs, your rear turning signals will blink white. I bought my Blacklines used but they came with yellow turning signal bulbs.

I am not sure about the OEM but when I got my Depo blacklines it came with 1 pair of amber turn signal bulbs. The other bulbs are reused.
