The ETK lists for a '99 318ti, the separate 60W electronic dimmer module, 61311391842, that the other E36 models use. IIRC, one of the cutouts in the panel near the steering wheel is sized to accept such a module. Is that cutout already filled in your car?
If the position is not filled and this were my car, I would probably wire a module to replace the light switch rheostat. The module is supposed to be short circuit protected (I ran one shorted for a few nights) and easier to replace. Just a thought.
