(DONE!)How to replace tail light on trunk?
Got a few cracks on my left inner tail light(on the trunk).
Been through a few rainy days, notice water drops inside light housing. I am worrying about the light gets wet and cause issue (short circuit?) Planning to order a new one and replace it myself. $324.05 + 13% Ontario tax, damn, it is steep....my dealer offers me a 10% discount, wtf, just 10%?, getbmwparts.com price is (converted to CAD) $220-ish. But they don't ship to Canada. I already took the cover(inside the trunk) off using screw driver, but had no idea how to remove the tail light. Do I need socket? wrench? I got these 2 pictures from realOEM.com. There are 2 holes there on the trunk. I suppose 2 screws? bolts? Just to make sure. The light bulbs inside the housing works fine. So I just need the housing (3 in the diagram), right? 4,5 and 7 I can just keep using my old one assuming they are not damaged by rain yet? Please help! Thanks! ---------- Update 2016/11/02 Bought one from ebay ship from USA. Cost me 245 CAD. Not too bad. haha Finished the job once I got the stuff!!! A video for anyone who is interested in how. Actually very easy to do. plug and play. Last edited by stvding; 11-04-2016 at 03:05 PM.. |

For future reference, this company will receive all your US packages and hold them until you have an opportunity to drive across the border to pick them up. Makes car parts extremely affordable! Even shipping within the USA is a lot cheaper (and sometimes free) than shipping across the border. Still a great deal even with the crappy exchange rate!
