I agree the rear stop light is 1057 or7506 or 1156. not 7528, what is weird is that auto parts stores list 7528. Incorrect

cgnahc · 03-28-2008, 06:50 PM

nice list.

100 watt are very very VERY hot. You risk damaging the headlight housing. Dont do it

snipersix · 04-12-2008, 12:54 AM

anyone know what is the bulb type for the DRLs?

my325xi · 05-11-2008, 08:21 PM

so lemme get this straight

the h7 low beams = 55W
the h7 high beams = 35 W

and the DRL's are the same lights as your high beams??

All I can speak for is the Xenons, where the low and high beams are the D1S. The DRL's and the flash-to-pass are the same H7 bulb.

Thanks for the heads-up. So is the 7506 the reverse light? I don't understand what the difference is between a tail light and a stop light. Aren't they the same thing?

TheJackal · 05-16-2008, 07:26 AM

Anyone know a good place to get chrome/amber turn signal bulbs?

True, HB4 also called 9006 bulbs for the fogs on m-tech e90.

BTW, here's the complete list:

The different fog light bulbs for different e9x:
e90/e91 non m-sport bumper: H11.
e90/e91 with m-sport bumper: HB4, also called 9006.

e92/e93 non m-sport bumper: H8.
e92/e93 with m-sport bumper: H11.

Please someone help me with this.

My cousin has a E90 which we've ordered crates and crates of mods for- and have figured out the setup we're going to run, but we can't find the city light bulb

I was shown a diagram at the dealer where the E90s running HIDS use a different city light bulb than the halogen. He unfortunetley has the halogen setup.

I'm trying to get LEDS so they light up his halogoen- some dope ultra violet ones, very very white bright. The dealer showed me the bulb and it was a 12v peanut bulb but he couldn't figure out the number code. I've seen E90s, multiple E90s with super bright led city lights, gives it such a mean & clean appearence. Please help me out!

ska325xi · 10-11-2008, 12:55 PM

I'm trying to change some interior lighting but can't unplug any of the housings. Is there a trick or something that i'm missing?

alot of the lights are on and i can't change the bulbs...help!!

wuufer001 · 10-14-2008, 03:23 PM

im a little bit confused, i have the oem xenon headlight pkg and want to know what is the code for the xenon headlamps (not drl)? i'm assuming DS1 will work but is that a part# for a brand or the universal code meaning that when i want to change it has to say DS1.

1 more thing, what 'K' is the OEM denon bulb? and if i change to 8000K bulbs which is brighter and 'bluer'?

tnx in advan

youngavn · 10-18-2008, 01:25 AM

New BMW owner here. I have a BMW 328i, 4 dr sedan with normal lights. Can I change out the normal light bulb and replace it with a brighter bulb or halengen type buld. Can it be done and if so what type of buld should I use.
