Bought a pair of LED turn signal bulbs and i'm not sure how to remove the stock bulbs. I see the plastic flap located under the wheel well but how do I remove the actual bulb? Thanks in advance.

Quite easy actually. Turn the steering wheel all the way till it stops, go to the side where the tire is facing outwards, locate the little door, press down on the two tabs, it comes right out. Reach in all the way to corner and twist the socket out (no need to disconnect any wire harness, as the connector is within the socket).

Once done turn the wheel again opposite side, and redo steps above.

Thanks a lot for the response. I thought it was that easy but I couldnt get the bulb to budge. The socket is gray right? I thought I saw it moving but couldnt get it to turn and I didnt understand how there was no harness attached. Well you answered that for me. Ill give it a shot in a bit. Thanks again.

As mentionned, no huge hassle to access, but finding a cheap replacement bulb... That's another story ?

Any ideas ?

You may need to push in till it unlocks, then rotate counter-clockwise and remove. It's tabbed.

Push in then twist. For new bulbs avoid touching with your bare hands. Oil from your hands, even if clean, can cause a focused hot spot and lead to failure. Or at least so I have been told, never experimented with bare hands to test the theory.

Bimmian sells ones that are chrome when off and amber when lit, much cleaner look. Think also have white when lit but not sure, I got the amber ones. Think the pair was like $30.

Thanks for the quick tips everyone. I thought it was easy but they werent budging until I gave them a slight push. I went with the Lumen bulbs from CARID that look white and also flash amber when in use. Expensive for a set of bulbs, about $80, but definitely a quality build.

Heres before and after shots:

What's the bulb size? I saw on Sylvania's bulb guide showing 7507 but couldn't find it on Bimmian

I forget but I do remember it's in the owners manual and you need the 150 not the 180.

I picked a pair of those up and the do not fit. Bimmian has a 180 degree tab on the bulb but we use something different...

Hi all, first post here. Just picked up my brand new M235 a few weeks ago. I'm interested in getting the bulbs that look chrome but glow amber. I know we need the 150 degree tab design.

Looking at this URL: https://bimmian.com/Accessories-for-...-Signal-Bulbs/ -- can anyone confirm the "1156 Bulbs With 150 Degree Offset - AKA: PY21W" items would work for me?

Thanks!

Nvm, Bimmian got back to me with this link: http://bimmian.com/ED~SBUAAA5AS

I believe the front turn signals are 1156PY BAU15S 7507 PY21W which are different from the rear turn signals which are 1156 ba15s 7506. I think they are all 1156 except the front turn signals.

Is that for a pair of bulbs or 1?
