Thanks... So now, does anyone know how to change out the amber side marker lights? The Solaris bulb kit also came with chrome side bulbs, but not sure how to get the clear lens off to change the bulb. Maybe the side bulbs are somehow changes from the inside of the fender?

Any advice or link to a thread about this would be helpful...

So, does anyone know if when you order the "white turn signal" (in my case on a 2012 Countryman) if the caps are just white (clear) on the headlamp assembly, or also the side (the piece near the rearview mirror, not the tire) and rear? I'm trying to decide if it's worth ordering them. Not a fan of amber.

If my memory serves me correctly they should have been white lenses as they are available.

I know if I ordered them in 08 they would have all been white.

Not so Schatzy62, I have an '08 MCa with White Turn Signals, the only thing that is White are the Lenses on both the Front and Rear the Bulb remains Amber.

In the Configurator currently up on MINIUSA.com I don't see White Turn Signals even offered.
