Could someone look at these 2 pics and tell me which bulbs are burned out?

This is at night obviously.

I'm planning to remove my dash console to repair my odometer gears so if you have any thoughts on the lighting behind the speedometer and tach I'm all ears. The lights work but awfully dim even at full brightness. All dash console lights work.

The 13 button computer works fine and shows up very well during the day but its completely dark at night. I assume you're supposed to be able to see it at night. The light under the cigarette lighter works, but nothing shows under the gear selector.

This is a convertible 325si.

My recommendation is to replace them all when you have the dash out. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...1#post26757741

I was trying to figure out what bulbs are out since it's so dark to the right of the dash. I'll figure it out. I was just hoping you could tell by looking at this pic which bulbs I needed

[superj]

its your buttons. some have bulbs and some do not, the ones above the radio

The HVAC panel is also dark. There are 2 bulbs there.

Lesson learned long ago, when you have a dash, or in this case instrument panel, out, replace ALL the bulbs. That is, unless you want to pull it all apart again in a few months!

[nyvram]

great advice!! all the instrument cluster lights are working afaik but since i'm going to fix the odo might as well replace the lights too

[superj]

there is no light for the gear selector. I think the 13 button screen is the only part you see at night. I don't think the buttons light up

i bought some 2721 LEDs and some T5s that "appear" to match the 2721MF bulbs but the more i look around the more it appears those also come with the base/socket with the part.

looks like i'll still have to go incandescent for the 2721MF bulbs unless someone knows something I don't about fitment. There are up to 13 of these it appears.

Bling bling Kapow!! Got the front ones lighting up again! Now that I know the wiring is fine I'm going to work on the rears.
