Anyone know where I can buy the sticker that goes over that hole? Any help would be awesome, that light is brighter than you think when it isnt covered.

holy moly! I bought it for $40 a couple years ago, now it's $93

Yes it's part of that part, I was really hoping there'd be another way to get one. A piece of black tape over that is sounding better and better everyday.

I didn't realize that area lit up. I guess my bulb is just blown.

It is lit up at all times, won't turn off, in case someone is wondering.

Why not buy a used vent off eBay? I see a few that have that piece for ~$35

If you are referring to the Round Hole on the vent...that's where the light switch is mounted. The light bulb is positioned on the back side of the vent. #4 in the diagram on realoem.com.

https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-Z3-3.0...h/63217167000/ I just ordered 6 of these bulbs. There are 2 of them behind the HVAC unit and one attached to cigarette lighter...thought I would have some on hand if needed. Good price at .99 each but shipping cost more than the bulbs...LOL
