Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?
It looks good on you though.

Pull the bulb out and write down any and all numbers found on the base.

Well at this point, I'm doing a bit of guessing but here goes. First of all, I assumed that BMW would prefer to spec something that is already in their inventory. As the bulb shown is not original, I used it to spec the size of the base. It looks like the the base is a bayonet style BA9s. The only bulbs I'm aware of that were used in that era by BMW was the T4W and the H10W or H5W. I'd probably try the T4W first and see if that provides sufficient lighting. If not, then I'd go with the H10W. It's probably the 10W though. Dome lights in sedan/coupe were 10W.
T4W/OSRAM 3893/BMW 07509063576
H10W/OSRAM 64113/BMW 63311375003
Let us know how it works out.

I found a BA9 based LED bulb on eBay, I ordered it and will see what it does and will report back.

I finally found the correct listing for the cabrio dome lamp next to the check panel. It's a 5W halogen bulb.

I'm pretty sure I did this wrong. But, I'm in search of a bayonet LED light to replace the bayonet dome bulb in my '87 e30 cabriolet. Any clue! I'm tired of buying the wrong bulbs!
Thanks

After so many times people asking what bulb goes where, I decided to create a comprehensive list of lamps and where they are used in the car. This should be fairly accurate. Please post any corrections in this thread and I'll update the chart.

I got one of this off amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o00_s00
it fitted well but not light up, is yours having the same problem?
Anyone know which one should I get?

It should be the right lamp. Did you try applying 12V directly to the lamp? (Remember polarity.) Maybe it's defective.

Just out of curiosity, did you try connecting them with both forward and backward polarity?

I'm seeing a discrepancy on the 2721LL bulbs....I got a pack the other day for the HVAC panel from Autozone and they were the correct watts and volts, but when I stopped by Advance yesterday to get a second pack for my ashtrays, it called my attention that they specify 6.5V 9.8W.
The correct wattage for those locations is 1.2W, and these have a new part # which is 2721LL.BP2, which are 13.5V and 1.2W. Be mindfull of the part number when buying these!
Correct:

Incorrect:
