OEM E90 Blackline Tailights Turn Signal

Hey Guys, I searched and found nothing, so here is my question:

I just ordered a set of the E90 M3 2008 (PRE-LCI) Blackline Tailights. My question is this. When you order them, do they come with bulbs installed? If not and you reuse the bulbs from your OEM taillights is the turn signal bulb yellow? Will my turn signal nw be yellow instead of blinking red as it was with the OEM tails? Should I buy the silver tinted yellow bulbs so that the yellow of the bulb doesnt show through the clear section of the new taillights?

Here is a vid I found that shows them blinking yellow at 0:38 into the video. (THIS IS NOT MY CAR OR MY VIDEO):



Alot of questions I know, but I figure someone that has a set of these should be able to answer easily. Thanks!

You might have better luck on E90post. The pre-LCI E90 M3 was only around for one year and the sample set of owners who've done this mod won't be nearly as large here as it will be over there.

Honestly I was thinking the same thing....but it demonstrates my point well regarding the tail lights.

I have them, they come with bulbs, and the indicators are the silver bulb that blinks orange..you don't have to change a thing. Plug and play! Super easy to install too. Let me know if you have any questions.
