BMW Roundel Bright Flashing Front Signals

I recently bought a 2002 325 CI with sport package and premium package. As you know, the sport package has clear lens but with a yellow bulb. I switched those bulbs to a "hyper" white bulbs. However, when the lights are turned on in a normal driving mode, it is not bright as I want them to be. I want them to be as bright as possible so that it won't look so bad with the xenons. Basically, I want them to be as bright as when they flash but constantly bright like that all the time. I know that I can cross the two wires to make it happen, but I don't want to do that because it might void my warranty with BMW and it will make it blink rapidly (past experience from my Integra). I switched the side markers and the back lights, but the brightness of that doesn't bother me because it used only when signaling. So only the front light has to be completed. But, I would like the back bulbs to be red. Are there any red bulbs out there????

Please help. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I think that there were some responses to your question here:

I think that you may have to do a little research into this. Are there one or two bulbs inside the housing? I have a small idea, however I need a little more info.

The bulb has two lights, however it has only one prong for connection on the bottom. I believe the model number is 1156..

Thank you for all your feedbacks. They were very helpful.

Hmm... got me stumped on this one. You may need to replace the one bulb for two bulbs to make it work the way you described
