Check parking lights message, advice on replacement angel eye bulb needed

[cooa99]

Hi Guys,

I am getting the message above on the dash (55 plate E53) .....  It appears that the lights on drivers side rings are out.

I currently have a replacement  bulb from BMW about 2 yrs ago (....when it went off and then back on again for no reason...).

So Now I am thinking maybe I should  change to bulbs that will turn the existing yellowish rings to a brighter colour.

please can you recommend what (and where) to get whiter bulbs provided I am not blinding other motorists .?

The replacement AE bulbs can be had from the likes of hids4u, etc for around £30. They are very simple to replace and no worrying about brightness as they will never be very bright as no-one has found a bulb yet of matching the newer model halos.

thanks

will these ones also do the same job? they don't appear to have the heat sink all the way to the back tho?

They'll certainly work, but can't say how bright or good they will be but very similar to M-Tec ones of old.
