A picture of a 1970's BMW tool kit gave me this idea, and since we don't get the "Emergency Triangle" in the States I wanted to best utilize that space in the factory tool kit. The fact that I had a brake light burn out on Tuesday and had to go to 3 different stores find the correct bulb in stock made me want to always have bulbs in stock in the car.

Just FYI, if you are ever in a pinch and have a brake light bulb burn out on you, just swap the burnt out one with the reverse light bulb to safely get you home, they are the same 7506 bulb.

Angel Eyes Halo Bulbs:
The Original (Factory) Bulb is a Phillips 12082 (12 Volt 10 Watt) if you can find it.
Low watt alternative: 3893 T4W (4 Watt)
High watt alternative: ANCOR Marine products 529337 20W Halogen

Turn Signals:
The Original (Factory) Bulb is a Phillips 21356LL (12 Volt 21 Watt) if you can find it.
Since I’m already using the ANCOR bulb as my Halo bulbs, I’m also using it as a spare for the AE turn signal bulb.
