    The 62111368299 bulbs from your Amazon link are used for warning lamps, that 10 pack should have enough and it's always good to have a few spares.

    You also need:

    2 x 62111375774
    3 x 07119905358

    You can check specific fitment here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sele...e=1&series=E30

        So Realoem says 3 x 07119905358, but I only replaced 2 and still have a dim cluster. Did I miss one somewhere? is it hidden?

          Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but my search-fu isn't working.

          I had a dead tach light in the cluster and I decided to just replace all the bulbs in the cluster.

          For the smaller bulbs, I got an Osram 1.2W 10-pack from Amazon. I saw on REALOEM that there was a 2W bulb and it called for 2 of them, so I ordered them from FCP with some other stuff.

          The problem - now that they're in-hand and I'm swapping old for new, ALL of the bulbs of that type in the cluster are 1.2W and REALOEM shows BOTH as #24 in the diagram:



          No amount of search (including image search) has shown me bulbs with the green handle that the OE 2W bulbs have, and I don't see where the 2W bulbs are designated to go.

          The Question: Where do the damn 2W bulbs go? Turn signals?

          (I realize it probably doesn't matter as all of these were fine before, but I have the 2W - might as well use them, right?)

            They should be for the bigger orange lights near the blue and white connectors.

                I'm embarrassed to say it didn't occur to me that I could just shine a flashlight behind the hole to figure out what it was lighting up - lol

                That said, I'm now thinking I haven't fixed the problem of the dark tach though.
