This bulb came out of the air conditioning unit. Does the bulb seperate from its housing or does it come all together? If it does all come together, is BMW the only place I can buy replacements or can I buy it from the shops? |  |  | | 04-17-2006, 11:21 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 |
All 3 lights are together. I'm sure you can get the lights some where else, but maybe BMW would be the easiest as long as they don't over price the part. | | | | | 04-17-2006, 03:33 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Northern Michigan Posts: 867 |  ac bulb

By the way, I managed to pull out the light with a pair of pliers (after the glass broke), but I don't think it's supposed to come out... can anyone please confirm if the bulb comes out or not. | | | | | 04-20-2006, 03:54 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Virginia Posts: 368 |
Bulb and base are one unit. As I recall, black base for center dash controls and gray base for headlght switch illumination. The bulb for the ashtray is the same as one of these, can't remember which. You could search the archives. http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4127 | | | | | 04-21-2006, 03:45 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Puerto Rico Posts: 885 |
