I guess this question would be for Virgil as he seems to be the expert here. I have a 2006 330i E90 bmw that i changed out the factory tail lights to OEM BMW blacklines. I bought them new from BMW and the turn signal bulbs were included; they are coated silver bulbs that emit amber light. My question is what kinda bulb do i need in there to replace them? I was looking for something that would emit a brighter light and seen that you mentioned in your post that OSRAM or Phillips emit a better light then other knock offs. I was told my OEM housing that was in there used 7506 bulbs but the blacklines i switched to require a 7507/PY21W bulb. Is this so? I got lost in the post when you mentioned about filing down index pins. I just was wondering if I purchased a Phillips PY21W bulb would it just plug rite in without any issue? I was also contemplating using the LED version they sell for the PY21W. Any feedback on LEDs? I guess my last question would be do you have any recommendations for brighter tail lights and brake lights as well? I searched the net for hours and could not find anything. I have heard LED replacement bulbs do not work good in the red tailight and brake housing. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. thx jason
