Better of getting your soldering iron out and changing the bulbs for pennies or getting your wallet raped from BMW.

Im sure someone on here said their 70quid plus now.

Five quid for bulbs from CPC .5 to 10 quid to local computer shop nto solder them in.
Job done

BMW quoted me something stupid like £65 just for a piece of White plastic with two bulbs in it. Can't understand how it's justified. As above solder two new bulbs on.

[bmwbobby]

well thanks for everyones advice got it sorted today and change from a £5 bonus

Please say what you did to fix this.

Thanks

It's a simple soldering job to swap the bulbs, i'll check on the wiki whether there is anything for this, if not i'll do a little write up if i can find some decent pics.

Just done mine from the LED versions of the small lights behind the dash, works a treat after you remove the actual white shroud.
