lighting question

[BMWManiac]

I can't remember, so I'm asking the experts...is the area around the fog light button and the knob you turn to turn on the lights...is that area supposed to light up amber at night? Right now, I have no lights in that area and I can't remember if they are supposed to light up. If so, where is the light bulb/ source that I replace for it?

[M-Theory]

Yes, it is supposed to light up. I would assume that you can remove the switch and replace the light that way.

BTW, thanks for the service. :)

yup, that area is supposed to light up amber all the time. (it stays on all the time, just like your odometer lights. probably why it fails so quickly).

anyways, here's what its supposed to look like:

do you have a part number? I can't find it in the ETK, only the vent.

Found it...thanks...looks like the bulb itself burned out but there was a loose amber piece that seems to have broken off the white stem piece.

yup, just go to any car parts store and find the bulb there. i think it was like $3 or $4

I had to order the switch as well since the amber piece broke off...I ordered that and the bulb, so it should be here shortly...thanks again.
