It's in the manual.

If memory serves, I believe thre are actually 2 different kinds of bulb in the taillight assembly. Figure out which bulb is burnt (inboard, outboard, behind the amber, behind the red, yada yada) and then go to your dealer's parts department and get a new bulb.

I paid about $2.00 for one. No biggie. Installing it is DIY.

Actually the manual sucks, lists only the wattage. Had to take the bulb out and check that way. Cost me $2.60 for two bulbs at an autoparts store.

Thanks anyways.

Just head to the dealer and tell them which bulb burned out and ask for a new one.

As a matter of fact, my dad hasn't paid for any bulb (even low beams) for the past 5 years, or since he goes to BMW Autohaus in Toronto. When he goes he does exactly what I just said and they give it to him and say have a nice day. Great guys!

Mystikal,

The relationship I have with my dealership makes me avoid any and all contact with them. I'd rather spend $2.60 than deal with them.
