Default Wiring Clear Corners

I received the clear corners yesterday. When I went to install them, I noticed that the eletrical plug uses three ptongs, but the recepticle on the clear corners is two prong. After contact the seller, it turns out you must use the original bulb sockets with the new clear corners, but buy yellow bulbs from a store.

That was very annoying. I hope I can buy the yellow bulbs.

Any one have the quick link to the rear brake light mod? The one to add the extra bulb to the brake light?

Some guy on Ebay, he sells all OEM Beemer stuff. The corners came with amber bulbs, but the bulbs fit the sockets included, and the sockets don't work with our wiring harness.

So I must use the original harness and sockets, but buy bulbs.

I've considered fog lamps. Maybe in the summer, I will do that project. All things in time.

I bought my clear corners off of ebay. I originally got coupe ones as well, and returned them for another set. Then I opted to purchase smoked corners. I think they look really really good on my black car. The clear white was too white. I resold the other clear corners on ebay.

I usually use white bulbs, and since the corners are smoked, they give ever the slightest yellow/amber color when I put the blinker on. Never had a complaint.

I did, of course put in Amber bulbs to pass inspection. Those are still in since I have yet to PASS inspection. I don't like the yolk look.

reason why they came with 2 prong is because on the euro versions the corner light come on only when you use the blinker. Not even wen the light is on.
