Did you consider that when you ordered them ?
That's why I'm still asking around and looking for a really white light when it's turned on from a bulb that is either clear or silver, but not blue.

I didn't know that they were blue I just thought they were clear. I'm not sure how it will look, but I don't think it will bother me too much.

I just bid on those bulbs. I had some Polarg bulbs before, and they are just as good as PIAA quality and maybe a little better. The price is 'iffy' but it's probably the best you are going to find, that arn't a rip off of something else, but I could be wrong.
Hope that helped!

Do the Polargs look white like the Bi-Xenons, not yellowish ?
Do you know where to get the stealth ones like the ones in the other thread ?

Hopefully they'll be bright because I just bought 3 sets of these :

I liked these better than than bulbs because they are CLEAR LEDS when turned off, instead of blue colored blubs.
Thanks vishaL iZ mE for showing me the diference.

They come in red, yellow & blue and all turn on white, but in order to have them clear and turn on white , you have to get the Polarg LED , not the bulbs.
That's what I got so that they would eventually look good with my clear side markers (if they ever get here) and beside the Bi-xenons for the running lights.

On the 05 model's - - On the headlights, where the turn signals are inside of the rear view mirror's .. does anyone know if you can replace the bulbs in that? I want to take that yellow out, and put some super white one's! I TRYED to search the forum's first, before asking, but no luck, so hopefully I wont get flamed this time! haha, thanks!

its doable, though i like the look they have amber. the LED's are clear when they arent on, so to me its no big deal they blink amber. i hated my mirror indicators that came with the car. the LED's were amber when off. when i changed to the W211 E-Class indiocators the look better plus the LED's are clear when off and blink amber.

Yea, I hear you. The only reason I want clear/white bulbs in the mirros, is when the turn signal comes on .. everything will be super white. Sidemarkers, rear view mirror, and the corner bulb of the headlight, which I still cant find on the forums, on what bulb it takes for the 2005 models .. no xenon headlights .. just the standard headlights I have.

And you will get 
from me instead of a flame. 
White blinking turn signals are illegal. So the only option here is what CitronC230K_03 and others have done. White that blinks yellow

yeah i saw you put the link to the bulb site. in defense for vishaL iZ mE, he wanted to know about the 2005 headlights. im not quite sure if the 2005 indicator bulbs in the headlight assemblies are the same size. i would think they would be the same size, but when in doubt RTFM, ya know! the info is there for everyone.

What I also purchased around 2 months ago, for my 5 series, were these 'fake xenon' bulbs, from bmwxenon.com - - I have never used them, and I purchased low beams amd fog lights for the bmw, and what do you know? They are the same as the mbz!
H7 for the low beams & 9006 for the fog lights, and that's what it said on the box, so I just saved myself some money. I payed total of 190 for these bulbs, and from the other bmw websites, they are highly recommended bulbs, or generic xenons. And they have the same watts so ... I am a happy man today!
