Yup. I ordered the front turn signal and side blinker bulbs from them (item numbers SOLAAA4AM and SOLAAA3AM).
They work well. The front turn signal bulbs lessen the amber glare somewhat, but they are a tight fit to install - you need ET fingers to get them in.
The side binkers look even better because they completely eliminate the amber color - and they are very easy to install.

My Solaris side marker bulbs just arrived today from Bimmian. I'll be installing them tonight and will take before and after pix.

I did too but then I returned them (the whole set of front, side & rear blinker) back as I found and use "other" alternative brand and it turns out to do the same exact thing for at least half the cost (maybe more) for just those bulbs.

I used 'alternative' bulbs as well. Changed out the front and rear signal markers and the fender markers. The ones I used in the front and rear have a blue-ish tint when not illuminated which some don't like. But I think it goes well with the Silverstone II paint of the car.
Whatever brand you use, def. a nice quick, cheap mod. Now if it only didn't cost $2K+ to get the Euro headlights to get rid of the amber lenses :thumbsdown:

For the side & front I'm using Pilot XC bulbs & for the rear Philips SilverVision bulb.
