headlight/foglight switch illumination/bulbs

[iananderson02]

Does anybody have a part number for the headlight/foglight switch bulbs? also are these just bulbs or are they bulb/socket combos? Does the switch itself have to be removed to replace the bulb or just the front trim panel that covers the bulb? Can anyone outline the procedure?

My foglight switch lights up buy my headlight switch doesn't and it's driving me crazy! Thanks in advance!

My foglight switch bulb was burnt out when I got my car.

It should be part #7. (BMW# 61138364617) I think it's a special bulb & socket combo.

You need to unscrew the knob, then carefully pry off the cover. I think that exposes a screw which holds the actual switch into place. You should have access to the bulb at that point. You might have to unplug the electrical connection from the switch too.

Thanks, you pretty much confirmed my thoughts (and hopes). Kudos..
