Hi folks, have a 325i 1990 rag top. Today i went to replace the parking lamps on her to bright white, The pass side was OK, but the drivers side did not work and on looking fond that it was not connected just a bare terminal block 8O . Should this be the case or am I missing a lenght of wire from some were to some were??? ta chris.

The side light wiring plug is mounted on the headlight frame just under the main beam lamp, the plug should be black.

Sounds like this has been un-plugged, you need to have a fish around the rear of the lights for a grey connector, this will plug into the black connector, and your side light should then work.

There's 3 connectors alltogether, yellow for dipped beam, white for main beam, and grey for the side/parking light.
