I have a 2004 MCS with HID.

What bulb is used for the daytime running lights? (The headlights that are always on when the HIDs are off)

What bulb is used for the white part of the front turn signals? (When headlights are on, these clear bulbs are on)

Are there any aftermarket bulbs or LED options available for these to make them more white so they match the white color of the HID headlights?

 

The daytime running lights are dimmed high beam headlights (H7 bulbs). The running lights in the bumper are 194. Both are available in whiter versions or with blue coating to make them less yellow.

 

Anyone have any recommendations?

 

The SilverStar's for the high beams are nice....but like most extra bright halogen bulbs they don't last long. Since the daytime running light run most of the time (and the HID's are so good) I'd probably get standard replacements.
A few vendors sell coated turn signal bulbs that are yellow when on, but appear clear/silver when mounted...it gets rid of that fried egg look in the lens.

“Silvervision" They’re made for BMWs but fit in your MINI perfectly (any model). The BMW USA part number is: 63 21 7 160 897. If that doesn’t work, just ask for “Silvervision” bulbs.

You are sure it is a H7? Why does the Osram Sylvania replacement guide show a H9 bulb for my car?

The 2004 Owner's Manual says H7 (also for my '06 as well).
