Cornering Light replacement

Anyone have a DIY on how to change out the cornering lights for an E90 335 LCI? I found some for an E92 but seems different from the E90.

E92s seem pretty pretty easy to swap out so hoping it's just as easy for the E90. Bulb size would help too thanks!

If its anything like swapping the DRL/HighBeam bulbs (H in the pre-lci headlight, its a PITA. I bookmarked this thread with a list of bulbs:

Once again, not sure of the difference in PreLCI and LCI bulbs so if that's no good you could try the Sylvania website.
Good luck tho!

If its like the Pre-LCI, bulb size is dependent on the car, mtech or standard ( Standard uses h11, mtech is 9006 or 9004, not sure on this)
On mine (Pre-LCI) I only need to remove the bolts under the fender, after that I can bend the plastic away and reach in with a hand.

I think you're mixing them up with Fog Lights. I am talking about the lights on the inside of the headlights (towards the grill), where the light come on when you make turns and what not.

Sorry different specs between euro and US then Euro the foglights act like cornering lights, at least for the pre-LCI with frm2.
My car uses h7 in those lights, but it`s also only used for high beam. Didn`t find it to hard to change them
