Have a euro M-tech e30 325i. Dash lights are out on right side where tach/mpg meters are. Any part numbers so I can replace these bad bulbs? I might as well replace all of them while I'm inside. Are bulb sizes the same thru out the dash? Also, are they easy to replace? Thanks!

bump! Thanks! -
Sounds more like an issue with the connection on your light switch. If the right side of your dash went out at once, it isn't the bulbs. One of the pins on the connector in my car broke off so it makes a very loose shaky connection and those lights are on sometimes and out other times. I'm going to fix it along with doing some other wiring related stuff once it gets warm out. You can't know if its the same failure point on your car as it is on mine, but the bulbs are not the issue.Comment

Fairly easy to replace.....I had exactly the same issue 2 weeks ago. Replaced all the bulbs and cleaned the entire cluster inside out since I hd the damned thing out. There are 2 larger bulbs that throw light unto the tacho- and speedometer plus fuel and water temp of course. You may even be able to replace the bulbs without removing the cluster completely.....but for that to work you need to remove the knee-guard panel thingie. The bulbs are insterted in a little bulb-socket that is twisted into place, can be a little stiff FYI. The partnumber on the bulbs I got is 07119978372.
If you decide to remove the entire thing (cluster) then I highly recommend you replace all the bulbs plus cleaning the cluster. Doing that got me my oil-service lamps back :) once the steering wheel is off and the steering column covers are out of the way, cluster comes out but not with ease. Be careful not to break the plastic clips that hold the cluster in place (sit on top of cluster) my cluster came out by tilting the top-end towards me and then, with minor force, pulling it out. There are 2 sizes of bulbs, the large ones which create "flood-lighting" in the cluster and then there´s the smaller ones which are basically "attention-getters"......the small service lights at the bottom and turn-indicators and such. Smaller bulbs you need are PN: 62111368299 although I´m not 100% sure. Check this little drawing for reference.....linked.

yeah try the connector on the back first. If it doesn't work, I have spares if you need them for cheap.Comment
