Hi I would like to replace the turn signal on my LCI 2008 car. I want to make it white or blue. Will a random 7506 LED bulb git?

Sorry...I must of read it wrong. The taillights are 7506 and I haven't tried it on a LCI car so not sure if it'll have an error.

I just edited it for future posters Joe it was my fault ahaha. For the pre LCI car was it simple to do? And for LCI car it would just be a bulb right?

No worries...for pre lci its simple to do with the bulbs, but on the LCI I just checked on my car and it's a LED strip (never tired).

Ouch that seems hard. So its not a bulb so its like a big strip? Hmmm I wonder whenever that goes out I guess you would have to go to BMW to get it fixed.

I haven't tried but I saw three torx screw on there and if that goes out I'm sure all you would need to replace is that strip. I'm sure you can modify it to clear. I think it would be the same concept as the front eyebrow modification.

This is correct. There are 18 LEDs on each side that you will have to replace individually. If I remember your posts correctly and how DIY inclined you are, I would suggest to leave it alone or take it to Mike (nigxdoof).
