Egg Yolk Delete PY24W

Update. Went with the X5 version and I'm pretty pleased. Will try to take better pics in direct sunlight. It's been reduced by more than 50%, maybe even 75% and that's great IMO

Life hack. Silver paint pen. No more yellow AND the blinker still illuminates thru it.

There seem to be a few options out there. One is to switch to an OEM silver/chrome type bulb used in the E70 X5. The pro's are OEM finish and function, no codes but the con is that there still may be some egg yolk noted as the silver coating isn't getting rid of the amber look of the bulb entirely.

The other option is LED which will completely get rid of any yolk look as it's main pro but the cons are unknowns like fit/finish/longevity.

A third option is finding some off brand chrome bulb like the attached video but I have no clue where to find something like that.

I wanted to ask if any of you have changed the corner bulb to something like the X5 bulb or LED and what your thoughts were. In either case I want to retain OEM amber color when illuminating. I have tried searching but most posts are dated and the photo links have gone dead.

I think it's possible to code those lights off.. I wrote a post ages ago about it. Will try to dig it up

That's not my issue though

Again, the orange glow doesn't bother me at all when the headlights are on. My issue is when lights are OFF, you distinctly see the orange yolk like hue within the headlight hosing. Coding the actual light off would not change the fact the bulb itself is orange.
