where can we get a list of the correct wattage bulbs for an e30?
none of the wiring websites seem to give this info.

can anyone confirm if the 12V, 1.2W bulb is used for the following areas

1/ instrument cluster warning lights eg oil pressure, ABS, brake wear sensors, battery charge etc.
2/ rear ash tray
3/ headlight/foglight switch cluster
4/ headlamp level adjuster illumination
5/ OBC button illumination

not sure if a 0.5W bulb was used for some of the illumination functions to avoid melting the holder.
