What type of bulb is this?
I'm changing out the reverse light bulbs, which I thought were a 921 bulb. This is what I took out. Doesn't look like a 921. Anyone know what type it is? I have a 2013 E92

phw16 comes up in a google search. Not a very common bulb looks like, at least aftermarket wise. Think I'm going to scrap this mod. Thought it was a simple 921 wedge bulb. Thanks for the help.

According to Sylvania, it's just a 921.

Yeah, from the info I found on the forum here and sylvania's website, i picked up some sylvania 921 bulbs on my way home yesterday. When I went to pull out my bulbs, I found what's posted in my pic. That's definitely not a 921, which is a wedge bulb. So I'm wondering if BMW changed things for 2013 models. I know they changed TPMS. Mine are now orange.

The 921 bulbs were $10 so it was worth a try. The bulbs on my car look like they're attached to that board. If I need to swap the entire board and spend $100 on an LED replacement unit, then it's not worth it. |
