Replacing obc bulbs

[twitchE36]

the right side of my obc went out so now i can barely read it.How do i replace the bulbs to fix it?

You pull the obc out. There's 5(?) bulbs that are replaceable with part number: 62 13 1 383 311. Can't remember the exact number of bulbs, it's been too long.

You use a screwdriver to twist it off.

+1.....I just did this a couple weeks ago. You need to carefully remove 3 x wiring connectos. You do this by pushing a little tab at the top of the connector, releasing the swing arm up.....I used a plier to grab, twist counter clockwise and pull out the bulb. Each bulb does have a small slot for a screw driver, but I find that I can maintain positive control over the bulb with pliers. I think 4 bulbs total.

in the sunglass holder, there s a hole you stick your finger in to help in pulling the OBC out


there's 5 bulbs....dirt cheap at the dealer.....

Ok thanks does any one know what size they are

Just go to the dealer and tell them what you need - they'll be a few bucks apiece.

Once you realize what you need to do, this is like a 30 second job. Just poke your finger up from the hole in the sunglass holder and pop the OBC out (no need to disconnect wires). The bulbs are along the top - you just twist them 90deg until they pop out (I was able to do it by hand). Twist the new ones in, push the OBC back into place...done.

I gave you the part number. Go to the stealer.

I didn't buy mine at the dealer, but to make it easier you might as well.
