Mine shows 5 and passenger has 7, guess 1 for the trunk light. The drivers side taillight is out though with all bulbs replaced. Any clues? | | | 12-07-2007, 01:01 AM | #2 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | all bulbs are out or only the taillights? if only the taillights, do they work if you swap bulbs with passenger side? seems like an odd question, but i've seen a number of times where they give you the wrong replacement bulbs. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 12-07-2007, 04:16 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 179 | I figured it out finally, but the drivers side was the only one that was out. I was going to swap the drivers with the passengers, but pulled both out of socket due to corrosion buildup.. I swapped the passengers to drivers and it didn't work. So I put a test light to the circuit and it shorted out everything including my interior lights.. So I replaced the interior light fuse and checked the rest, all seemed good.. I had to pull all fuses out except for a few just cause the damn tester wouldn't reach far enough.. Seems whatever light controlled the drivers side taillight, wasn't seated properly.. Lighted right up after that. I was looking at the fuse diagram and it only shown brake lights, so I dunno what was up, got rid of a headache though. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
