Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Replacing an E46 LED Tail Light

Hulgraine · 2014-05-02 11:13:55

Hi, I have a 2004 BMW 320 Coupe (E46) with LED tail lights. One of the light strips is not working and need to get this replaced before the NCT on Wednesday. Can someone tell me if I need to replace the entire unit, or is there some kind of circuit board which holds the bulbs itself? Also where can I find a second hand one…

Hi,

I have a 2004 BMW 320 Coupe (E46) with LED tail lights. One of the light strips is not working and need to get this replaced before the NCT on Wednesday.

Can someone tell me if I need to replace the entire unit, or is there some kind of circuit board which holds the bulbs itself?

Also where can I find a second hand one at a good price?

Thanks in advance,
Hugo

I think they are a complete unit.

Any motor factors should be able to get you one.

Those ones on Micksgarage are aftermarket units. Only BMW will be able to supply an original rear light.

Whole unit really needs to be replaced.
