Left and Right Parking Light Malfunction
I have a 2005 525i, I received a control message thru I-Drive advising me that the Left and Right Parking Light malfunction.
Both Angel Eyes are out. My question is I notice when you place an order they come in pairs, do you need one pair for each side?
Also, has anyone changed these themselves ? Last question, I would like to order an original replacement, does anyone know the part number ?
Thank you.

Easy replacement.... one per side. Videos are everywhere and it has been discussed ad nauseum on the forum. Realoem.com will have a part or bulb number, but why OEM and not something brighter white? Dim yellow looks so dirty IMO.

Do as above said
Verify that the parking lamp issue is in fact the bulbs.. check same with AE.. i had this issue and turns out the socket/clip was toast (on parking lamp). Angel eyes (d1s) needed to be replaced shortly after. One way or another its an easy fix, see my profile pics, and realoem is, again, your best resource for parts info
Also search forums for performance reviews (AE), color temp vs visibility, the cool looking ones dont always perform best
