Going to do this for sure but probably wait untill the spring as it's getting cold here. I wonder how much the BMW parts will be up here in Ontario. Any online BMW parts places you can order the stuff from?

 

Retail on those parts is about $69- $80... I have a wholesale account set up with my local dealer, so I'm cheating :P

 

beer and a dremel - does anyone else see this as being a bad idea?

 

as long as the beer comes after the dremelling.
cuz, one must a steady hand.

 

Ha! I was drinking a cold beer after I finished the first hole. The cold beer is essential to getting the job done.

 

i think those side markers match the shape of the tl perfect...what made you choose those ones??

 

actually...i think the newer triangle shaped markers on the new BMW would look nice also.

 

that shit looks good. i might give it a try too. scared as hell about f@#$ing up the panel though...

 

yeah nex time DarkShear comes to the west coast, he's definatley gonna do mine

 

ME!!! 2 1/2 years ago! mine blink with the directional , as well as stay on with the parking, and headlights! what happened with yours?

 

how did you get them to stay on AND blink?.

 

LIES!!!! ALL LIES!!!!

Ok, maby not...

Yeah Steve was the originator on the E60 side markers. Ill give him credit :P

 

wait...

stop giving each other kudos and lets get back to
the issue.

if i wire that single filament bulb, to both wires on the
directional light...

it will blink and stay on?.

 

If you connect the + of both the blinking and running lights in the headlight (the dual filament), it should turn the sidemarker light on with the running light, but when the turn signal in the dual turns ON the sidemarker turns OFF etc... I assume this is how he has it setup.

 

actually i have to look at it and report back (car's in the shop ) but i have it set up so that the sidemarkers come on like you described w/ the parking lights, but also blink w/ my directionals. the side markers never go off? and if the lights are off the sidemarker still blinks w/ my directional!

 

Oh..hmm, if the sidemarkers never turn off I would guess that it's just a switched 12V line and the turn signal line then. But if the sidemarkers blink in sync with the turn signal (signal filament off = sidemarker off) I am out of ideas (at least simple wire splicing ideas).

 

Just did a recent price check on this stuff:

Clear side markers (they include the amber bulbs):
(1) 63-13-6-906-393 17.60
(1) 63-13-6-906-394 17.60

Wires:
(2) 61-13-0-006-665 .80/each
(2) 61-13-0-005-199 .80/each

Plug Housing:
(2) 61-13-8-365-340 1.40/each

 

hey K, buy me a set nad bring it over here next time ur over we gonna do the mod!

 

WOW, thanks a lot DJ!

 

or Darkshear!

 

Are there any online places I can get the parts from I'm sure if I go to a BMW dealer here the price will be 3 times that.

 

No, the dealers prices are just about the same.

 

i have an 03 aspec will these replace the oem ones i have ....These look great..

 

Also where can i get them....

 

i will DEF one day get these. they look sexyy

 

where you get the wires for it?

 

all these parts in NJ cost 99.20 @ RT17 parkave bmw.
any low price in nj?

 

you're two years too late my friend. look on ebay.

 

no thankyou

 

question.....I would need to take my front lip kit off to take the plastic cover off to get to my side signal light harness? if so, how do i take my lip kit off?

 

While I personally have the Wing's West front lip, and do not have to remove the lip to access the panel, I cannot vouch for the OEM kit.

On a side note,

/sniffle, ahhh the nostalgia. Hey, thinking about it now, it probably would have been smarter of me to do this in metric instead of imperial, eh?

 

 

Your such a forum troll dude, it's astonishing.

 

who meeeeeeeeeeeee?

 

Yes, you.

===========================================

What year 745 are these parts from? I'm trying to find out if there's any possibility of using the ones from an '07 or an '08. Thanks!

 

Well this was done back in '04, so I'd imagine they were from a 2004 745, but I don't see why you can't use any year you want.

 

the bmw side markers r nice, but if u want something a bit jdm and imo flows wit the car, i installed the cd6 side markers from an accord, its like the a-specs but its flush..
