1989 E34 525i (M20) - White. My driver's side turn signal is cracked. I'm thinking nows the time to change from amber to clear. How much for the best or are the eBay (cheaper) ones good enough

Try BMA, they should be able to get them for you relatively cheap.

A Bimmer Nut for sure: '04 530im (current daily driver), '97 m3, '98 323is, '99 Z3, '01 740iL, '06 330cicm zhp, '02 R1150R, '69 r60, Owner/Operator of www.Bimmer.info and www.BimmerNut.com
And I still maintain: '90 535im (sold to daughters best friend, one of my favorite bimmers), '92 525im (daughters other best friend now drives this one).
I have a set of amber turn signals if you want for a minimal price
What shape are they in?

We have the OEM ones for $39 a set - choose clear or smoked-made in Germany.
Are these Hellas?

made by TYE-a German OEM manufacturer.Quality is as good as Hella-we've sold dozens with no complaints.
The rears are Hella.

So are clear Hellas available?

Make sure you get E34 units NOT E36...
I bought a set of front and side clears bundled together, and 'supposedly' for an E34. The fronts fit (of course), but because the E36 unit looks the same as the E34 unit, I got sent an E36 pair!! The socket for the glkobe holder is different, and can't be easily modified. I sent them back to the seller, but I got a set the same returned... So I gave up.
The E36 ones will fit, they look perfect, and I've had no problems... Except that the globe holder wont lock into the socket on the back of the unit (I had to electrical tape mine so the globe didn't move).
Did that make sense??
Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(
And then...
