  • Headlight switch bulb

    As per the other thread on headlight switches there is a small panel below the light switch which should illuminate with a key in position I or II - so is not controlled by light switch itself

              BMW bulbs are expensive and made by Osram I think but you can pick up packs of ten for around £5 off ebay

                As always, a fountain of knowledge Dave. My bulb has blown so I’ll get these ordered. I fully expect 10 to last me for the rest of my life

                  Thanks Dave - do you know if the same bulb is used to illuminate the sunroof switch?

                    Sunroof switch isnt normally lit unless the wiring has been altered as the cars left the factory either wired wrong or unlit intentionally - but not sure what bulb the switch does take - edit just checked and it appears to be an led in the switch

                      Ah thanks Dave - now I’m not at all sure if mines was ever lit! But given it is a LED and therefore unlikely to fail, I’m thinking it was never lit. That said, I can imagine glancing up in the past and seeing it lit….. Aargh.
