Hey Kigerka, so you took the amber section out? whats underneath? Do you have pics of what it looks like now? This means there has to be a part number for that small amber piece.

No, I wasn't able to take the amber reflector out. However, I removed the amber bulb and it was slightly less amber but only noticable to serious enthusiasts as ourselves. I am going back to buy the clear bulbs later this week. I looked to see if I could get to the amber reflector but still no luck.
I did replace the amber sidemarker with a slightly blue light that flashes white. Doesn't look to bad with Orient blue. Deffinetly less noticable than before.

Its funny how you always want what you don't have. I bet the Europeans are trying to get hold of amber reflectors, coz its different.

I dont mind the amber and I think the rear clear/whilte look with amber indicator light inside is really cool. You don't see the amber until the light flashes.

Werd. That was the trend with other BMWs and older 5ers, so I assume it will occur with the e60 as well.
