nah, i need to search on ebay for some. which ones are you using?
It's funny you should ask. I've tried 2 different companies. The first, is Solaris, which I got through Bimmian. The second are InvisiLites, which I got here:

I will tell you this, the invisilites come in the best packaging. I'm going to take a few pictures of how each company ships their bulbs and you can judge for yourself.

Here are some pix I just took:

The first are the Solaris. This is how they come. Nothing special, right? Not only that, but they cost more as well. Now scroll down and check out how the Invisilites come packaged!

I do have the front... its just need the sides. Its just the reflection of the nick stickers off the amber part of the headlights gives it a slight yolk look at an angle

Those are the side marker bulbs. You need the front ones too, which are the pictures I just posted. The fact that Invisilites provides all that stuff in their packaging for install is really smart. They have great stuff. You'll be quite happy.

Good luck!

PS - If you go down there today, ask for Tom G.. He might remember me, if you mention my name. I ordered a ton of bulbs and the badge from him. Great, great guy! And while you're at it, ask Tom if you can get me a deal on the M5 shift knob in Carbon Fiber. Tell them $450 is too high.
