i don't know what the bulb # is, but if you check out www.autolumination.com they should carry the right blue LEDs u are looking for.

btw, blue LEDs on the exterior of your car = asking to be pulled over. seriously

Well I have had the BMW side markers on my car for over a year now never been pulled over. The bulbs I have are a bluish color but not blue blue like an LED. Do you think they will give a problem? They don't blink with the blinker.

I'm trying to have those installed on my '03 TLS right now, but the body shop said they would brefer a template. I know this is a lot to ask, but would 1 of you be willing to Fax/send me a template from the hole on your car?

There are probably shops out there that would do it with out the template but these guys are really good and i would prefer to do it the way they want to.

thanks in advance.

Sorry, off topic, but where's your shop at? I've always been looking for a good shop. What'd you have done there?

another big favor:
Can someone give me a 3/4 shot (pic) like from the back to front or top to bottom. I want to see the profile of the actual light on the car.
thanks again guys.

I dont know where your from, but in Cali. blue led's are a cop magnet. They say that blue lights are only for emergency vehicles: cop cars. But hyper whites are O.K.. I guess it all depends on the mood of the cop. :cop:
