Where can I buy euro clear side indicators?

As the title suggests. If any vendors offer these, please pm me with a price.

Thanks

hahaha! someone hasnt done their homework on this site.

it is impossible to change the ambers to get clears. the only way to do it is to buy the euro headlights from someone in germany which are $1600 PER SIDE, which is $3200 in parts, and the install is a bitch, so there is more money there in labor

the only solution is cut stickers to place over them, but i dont think they get the job done. i suppose it is the best option there

THe list price from any BMW dealer is only $1,075 each side. Keep in mind that US dealers may be hesitant to bring these in, as they are not legal in the US.

01 AHL-xenon headlight, left 63 1 171 812 93 $ 1.075.40

01 AHL-xenon headlight, right 63 1 171 812 94 $ 1.075.40

I see new car models all day long with all clear indicators. There is a new Pontiac G8 parked down the street and it's all clear. It may be that the lenses are clear and the bulbs are orange - seems BMW could have gone that route.

Another option that will be available soon are painted covers for this part, we do them for the E90 and will have them available for the E82/7.

I agree something needs to be done, has to be the ugliest part about the front of the car, Euro spec cars look so clean!

It is not the turn indicator that is the issue. A clear lens and an amber turn indicator bulb is also what we have, check it out. What is showing as amber on the 1 series corners is the integrated amber reflector. The G8 has a seperate corner amber reflector on the bumber, to be legal.

The BMW 1 series 'Euro/rest of world' headlight assembly has an integrated white reflector. Alas, in the USA white front reflectors do not meet NHTSA regulations.
