To anyone who knows, I have recently purchased the Euro headlights for my 2007 E63 M6 coupe. I realize that the turn signals are seperate from the headlights, but I have a question... I have already replaced the orange turn signal bulbs in the back of my car with offset (because thats the way BMW makes their bulbss) super white bulbs. Im all good there. I need nice super white bulbs for both the side indicators and front turn signals and have no idea what bulbs I need or even where to begin to look. If anyone knows where to find these, pleae let me know. I am very anxious to get my new lights in the car. It is a big job because BMW has made it perfectly clear that they do not want you changing anything on their cars anymore. I am prepared to take of my front bumper to get the new lights in, as well as the backs of the fenders to get the side bulbs in. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

You won't be able to find replacements for the side park lamps. They're these long (about 2.5 inches) 1 pc bulbs. The turn signals, I'm pretty sure you can.
You'll have access to all the lights once you remove the bumper. It's not hard just very time consuming. I replaced my headlights as well with the euro ones.

To clarify, the top part, above the headlight has two bulbs. One is for the turn signal and the other is a park light. Yes the park light has no replacement.
oh ok, well that doesnt bother me that much...so where can I find clear blbuls for the actual turn signals all the way around the car, in the front and on the side...i have them for the back already.

Euro headlights don't have the amber. The US version has the amber as you can see in car below in my sig. The Euro version is all clear. The bulb instead is yellow.

Ok,
OEM Bulbs
Front Turn Signal 2 ea - (engine / wheel well) 07119904757 Yellow / wedge 21w - WY21SV
Sidemarker 5W, WY5WST (Silver) wedge - 63216941060
Side Turn Marker 5W WY5W (yellow socket) - 63132269480 (between wheel well and door edge)
Look in manual around page 182-183. You have 2 each turn bulbs per side PLUS the side marker in that single housing (3 bulbs total). So you want the white (clear) version of the yellow bulbs above. Look those up by any mfr - (PIAA, Sylvania, GE, Phillips, etc). Also Solaris has what they call a Silver or Diamond bulb that is white/clear looking until it blinks, then it blinks yellow to be DOT Legal. You can find Solaris on Bimmian site: http://www.bimmian.info/63. Maybe other bulbs too.
