Hi Guys,
I'm located in New York and considering a 530. I believe for most of the pictures of U.S. Spec E60s, I've noticed that the turn signal lights are amber yellow in the front but clear white in the back. Is it supposed to come like this?
European spec cars are clear white at both front and rear, correct?
Why aren't the US spec cars the same color for front and rear?
Would it be possible to order the white turn signals for the front? (I remember the parts dept at my dealer carried them for my '97 E36 328 back in the day...). Or would I have to go aftermarket? Anyone know how much they cost?
Thanks,
Rich

Us cars are always equipped with the yellow reflectors in the frontlights. Maybe Bavauto has them in eurospec without the amber reflectors but the clear ones??
Ordering through dealer is not possible as far as I know.

You have been there at the right time!
I was wondering when that happens first - it was later than expected.
