i'm looking for brighter cornering lights... not finding much.

i know they aren't crucial, but i would like them to match the color of the oem hid lights. a forum search, google search, and a browse of the usual part sites turned up nothing useful so far.
is it just an H3 bulb or something?

I bought the brightest sylvania ones auto zone had and they look pretty close. If I remember correctly it's just an H3 bulb

None
Had them over a year. Swapped them when I installed the LED angel eyes

any H3 55W cornering light bulb will be fine, the wattage needs to match OEM specs which is 55W in this case, there is 80W, but we wouldn't recommend it, the BMW is designed from factory very different from many other automobiles on the market

I just bought the GP Thunder 7500k, H3 55w, HID. It's says that the output is like 80w. A friend told me that he bought some for his fog light and didn't last that much. Let's see how it goes. Anyways they are cornering not fog so they should last more. The color is great. It matches the angel lights which I have LED.

PITA to replace these. I suggest just turning them off in I-Drive. They serve very little use anyway.

I find them easier to replace than the H8's.
