Can anyone tell me what the bulb is i need for the courtesy light in the boot of a 1998 316i Compact??? - can't seem to find this info anywhere and there is no old bulb there to compare it with!!! :eek
thanks for the reply - I looked at the chart in Halfords and the only interior bulbs it listed for my car were 239 (festoon type) or 245 which were bayonet - i couldn't see how a festoon bulb would fit in the fitting so i went for a 245 (which also doesn't fit! lol!) - here's some pics of the fitting - i can't see how a 245/festoon bulb would fit??;
It's a small bulb with a black plastic bit on the bottom. It fits from behind rather than from the front. It's not the normal bayonet type. Sorry, I don't know the par t No.
lol!!!! - thanks very much!! - its much appreciated considering there wasn't even an old bulb to compare it to! - plus we're relatively new to BMW's! :laughing
a little update (for anyone who is interested! lol!) - the part number for the bulb/bulb holder is: 63218353555 and according to www.realoem.com it's the same bulb as is used in the 3rd brakelight.. HTH
is it the same bulb as the footwell lights? try that then you know what your looking for :confused :confused :confused
