BMW sidemarker help needed

Hey all. Got my 745 sidemarkers installed about a week ago. Problem is that one of the bulbs has gone out. Since the lights came with absolutely no documentation what bulb do they use and how do I install it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My suggestion, call up the parts department in a BMW dealership and ask them.

I've got those sidemarkers as well and they use the exact same bulbs as the door lights, license plate light, and sidemarker lights. I took out the orange bulbs that came with the sidemarkers and replaced them with superwhite PIAA bulbs. Changing the bulbs is simple, just remove the sidemarker and twist off the back part, replace the bulb, twist the back part on, and then put the sidemarker back on the car.

Everything is easy to steal, why do you think they take headlights. I can remove the foglights in less than a minute.
