Silver Turn Signal Bulbs
Does anyone know where to buy bulbs that are silver coated but still blink orange like these for BMW:http://www.bimmian.com/SOL/ ?
Also, I couldn't find a bulb number or type for the front and rear turn signals, any help is greatly appreciated!

They are of very good quality but you have to understand that they are NOT AS BRIGHT as those orange colored bulbs ok? They have a little redish color when they light up (maybe it's the effect of the chrome translucent paint).
You need these for both your front and rear turn signal bulbs - 1156 BA15s Single Circuit and these for your side markers - T10mm Diameter - Glass Wedge Base
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, it was a great help and I just ordered online!
Quick question though - I checked the owners manual and the bulb for turn signal is 1157 however you mentioned to order the 1156. Do you know what the difference is?
Anyways, I went with what you went with and hope it works!

NOT THE 1157 - definitely (dual contact bulbs for the turn signals)
Guys, just remember that the Bulbs you should get for the TURN SIGNALS are SINGLE CONTACTS...
I have just changed my CLK (CLK 230 1998 Model) bulbs 2 days ago and these are the ones I used - the SINGLE CONTACTS...
The 1157 is a DUAL CONTACT Bulb if you look here... http://autolumination.com/titaniumseries.htm
Maybe the 7507 is the one. I remember having to twist and turn the bulbs before they got in the receptacle due to the 2 small studs not being aligned. But definitely not the 1157 guys. Sorry.
