Rear fog light replacement , what and how?

Post by celica » Sun Jul 22, 2018 12:14 am

What bulb type is it and how?

Is the rear fog light in both rear left and and right clusters?

On my e53 it has the fog on both sides but not sure on your car.
Regarding what bulb have you had a look on a bulb site with a bulb finder like this one.

From the BMW TIS......

Not all models have both bulbs or wiring present.  There must be one on the driver’s side but the passenger side is optional.

Could be a dodgy bulb holder?  Either corroded or just mucky.  E70s are known for it.
