So I went to Bimmian.com and ordered the H7 bulb (hope it is the right one). Does anyone know how to replace this light, it is extremely yellow. Is there a DIY. Also I ordered some side blinkers in LED. Is there a DIY for those?

you dont need to remove the light. just unscrew the cap behind the light housing, then i think you just twist the bulb out.
i doubt you'll get much whiter light though, since the drl run at partial power.

Have you checked your manual? ![Whistling](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/whistling.gif)
If you are referring to the Halo's..

The side blinkers, do you mean the side blinkers on the headlight unit or the side fenders...either way..again, your manual is pretty self explanatory and easy to follow...

Im not refering to the "ring" or halo. Im talking about the piss yellow light that stays on all day no matter what I do.
