$41 for a DRL bulb
My passenger side DRL bulb is out. Dealer across the road wants 40 bux for it Can someone please provide the part# so I can look for this elsewhere. Real OEM is showing everything but the part# I want (#8).

You drive an M3. You could have had the dealer swap that and been down the road quick.

So if I drive a M3 I am just supposed to pay rip off prices for something as small as a H8 bulb. The DRL's are usually swapped in pairs. That is over 80 bux for 2 measly bulbs. I am asking for part numbers so I can order it from tischer or the BMW parts store. If you morons have nothing useful to add GTFU. It's cuz of ignorant %# like you that dealers are able to charge what they do.

Looks like getbmwparts has them for 24+6 shipping. 30$ to your mailbox. Congrats you have successfully wasted time, went on a forum rant and saved 10$. Hope it was worth it.

It was never about saving 10 bux. I have paid over the top prices for stuff that is needed urgently. DRL doesn't happen to be one of them. Thank you sir That's all I needed.

Yeah,....I have to agree with OP that $80 for a pair of H8 bulb is just bullshit!
I would go on ebay and upgrade to LED bulbs for $40 a pair.

You don't NEED a BMW H8 bulb. H8 can be found a lots of places.
For future reference, if you need OEM parts, these are two cheap OEM dealers: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=852339 |

D2S bulbs, for example, are $40 (Philips), so for two measly bulbs, it's ~100, rounded up. Dealers charge what they charge for many reason but one of them is for people who don't know any better just saying... |

Husker Auto group. Very inexpensive BMW OEM parts.
I think this is what you're looking for: http://huskerparts.com/parts/2009/BM...%20lamp%20bulb |

I have an OEM bulb if u want it. 25$ negotiable. Mine just went out recently also.
I had to have OEM because in my opinion it's the best part for my m3. It was off a new 2013.

Had I seen this earlier I would have given you my bulbs for just the cost of shipping them to you.
Anyway, glad you got it all sorted out.
