Question The bulbs in the upper corner of the headlights, what the part #?

IMO the car would look better if these bulbs were amber, not white and I'd like to know what the bulb # is so I can change it out. Slowly, but surely I'm doing things to make it "different". Thanks in advance.

its probably a regular 168/194 bulb, though they may officially refer to it as a W5W (wedge, 5 watt, white, i think) or something similar. 194NA bulbs are much more common around here. If they're too bright, try a 164 or a 161 bulb.

take pictures!

I changed these to blue or hyper white. Whatever you want to call it. Now it has the same color as my headlights.

So, do you remember for sure what the bulb # was? I'm going to end up with HIDs, so a nice NA bulb would be fine for me.

Yes, it's devil of a job! I must admit I failed after several attempts. There's no space to grab them. So I let the mechanic do it for me. I replaced them with phillips blue vision. Nice, recommendable.
AeroBlue: I think you have to use ECE standardized bulbs in your 'german' car. So there's no # only the category designation W5W (crimp connection, 5 watts). Or does your US-manual says something else?
