That looks fantastic - but some silver indicator bulbs are needed. The "yolk effect" is quite pronounced on the white car ------------- |

http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk - http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk were very efficient and reasonably priced in my dealings with them; you could also try eBay... you're looking for Philips SilverVision indicator bulbs, Type PY21W ------------- 2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium X Auto 1983 Ford Sierra XR4i 2000 Alpina B10 3.3 #118 1999 BMW 323Ci 1995 BMW 318i SE 1994 Vauxhall Omega 2.0 GLS 1995 Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX 1990 Honda Concerto 1.6 EX 1986 Ford Orion 1.6 GL 1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1 Firefly |

or, as alym mentions, if funds are tight give them a light dusting of silver spraypaint... that's what i did with my side repeaters ------------- 2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium X Auto 1983 Ford Sierra XR4i 2000 Alpina B10 3.3 #118 1999 BMW 323Ci 1995 BMW 318i SE 1994 Vauxhall Omega 2.0 GLS 1995 Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX 1990 Honda Concerto 1.6 EX 1986 Ford Orion 1.6 GL 1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1 Firefly |

Hey bud, Fleabay is ok and fairly cheap. You'd be better taking the existing bulbs out to see what you need. There are 2 types.........180 degree pins and offset pins. All are available from Haflords and the car shop in Bathgate, (more expensive but there and then) don't forget the rears and side repeaters (once you've started !!! haha) Hope this helps ------------- |

Thanks for the heads up, but knowing me I'd make a hash of it, so probably safer getting the silver bulbs ------------- http://www.facebook.com/teamschirmer">

Oops - lets hope they're OK. I've ordered the ones Stephen recommended, but he used to have an e46 coupe so I'm presuming they're the same ones - if not, they're getting returned Don't point out the side repeaters, it never stops, help!! ------------- http://www.facebook.com/teamschirmer">

Just a little heads up when I got the clear fronts on mines they had different bulb holders from the original (offset to opposite). So as far as I know with the E46 it could be either! then I got the projector ones and they are the same as the original ones. So if you do have the wrong ones let me know I've a couple of spare bulb holders!!!

Richie in AcCarSales.com (forum sponsor) can supply these cheaper than that and without any issues, that's where I got mine about 2 years ago. ------------- |

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooft Stevie, I've been hearing rumours of this White CSL all the way in Asia, and by **** its true. You've got some nuts to do that, but hat off to you, its worked! But and a VERY BIG BUT! You STILL have the 'C5L' number plate! I got nailed for that 3 days before I went away in April there so had to change it back to 'C5 L'! Ragin to say the least but yes, looks good in the white. Let me know how you got on with the indicators as I got mine from ebay and have the details at hand if you need. See you soon! -------------  http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/e46/m3csl.html" rel="nofollow - My Car 2004 M3 CSL and 2009 E90 M3 |
