I just took delivery of my 09 535i. Absolutely love it.

For some reason I thought the rear turn signals were yellow, but the LED's embedded in the clear section of the rear light assembly flash red instead of yellow.

Has anyone modded this to flash yellow? I tried doing a search on this, but didn't find this specific question.

Thanks!

Please convert them to YELLOW. Please. I am sure someone will chime in to help. It can't be that difficult.

i dont think there is a conversion kit, The amber turn signals are EUROPEAN SPEC LCI lights. You have to have them ordered from Germany. I got a pair and absolutely recommend them to everyone

I might be anal retentive, but I prefer yellow turn signals since I think they get more attention than red signals. Although I'm not going to spend a fortune converting them.

It does looks nice. My cousin had white turn signals on his 03 330CI. It was blinding though. Everytime he signaled, we had to squint.
