i recently bought some smoked side indicator but i fear i bought the wrong one according to kudos. 

The one i got is 26100 RNC41. I attempted to install it but realised the light bulb makes it too long and touches the indicator cover. Could it be that my socket/housing is the wrong one or did i purchase the wrong indicator cover. 

mine is a 1999 i believe

Hmm according to Nismo that should be right part number for 1999.. otherwise you could try 26100-RNS51

Thanks Alex, your right. the 26100-RNS51 is after 8/2000. (http://www.nismo.co.jp/products/catalogue_2017/html5.html#page=297)

Im having issues fitting the 26100-RNC41 because the bulb is protruding out too much. Could this be due the the socket/bulb being the incorrect one ? Alternatively would the 26100-RNS51 be "deeper" so it would fit properly and not come in contact with the indicator?

TIA

Not sure on the depth of it, presumably it's similar just the shape changes. With those Nismo lenses you just use the OEM bulb holder but from memory they do come with a different bulb so could be the problem there ? 

Did you buy them brand new ?

Wonder if there's some smaller bulb you can get, maybe an LED one or something

I just bought the flat T10 led, that didn't work.. guess I'm paying a visit to the wreckers for a set of side indicator socket. Thanks for your help though.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
