    Headlight switch... illuminated?

    Hi all,

    Replacing a bunch of switches on the car... Is the headlight switch supposed to be illuminated behind it? Looks like it, but don't see a part # for a bulb if so...
    62111370655 is the light switch cover...​

    Yes it is.
    I believe it is the same bulb as the 'light switch' and 'HVAC Panel': W1.2W / 2721

      thanks. My window switches when illuminated are all different brightness levels, is this more likely the bulbs or should I just replace all the switches? This is my first e30, so I'm not sure what some thigns are supposed to look like... But this is these switches seem off. The up on the drivers window doesn't light up, and the orange is a different color than the other switches... My OCD just wants to replace them all... :)

      tx!

        Your window switches are from different manufacturers or batches, you can clearly see the difference in the pictograms and shapes of the buttons.

          Thanks. I'm going to order 4 new switches and call it a day.
