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?

TURN SIGNAL FOR THE TAILS!

The LED bulbs may give you an error light, but the 7506 for the headlight turn signal is for pre lci and LCI bulbs are 3457A.

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).
