Replacing passenger side taillight

seppler · 12-20-2010, 09:26 AM

The back passenger side taillight is broken in my car, and I'm looking to replace the module. On Real OEM, it says "Please observe USA SI B63 06 10" - does anybody know what that mean?

Anyway, I'm thinking about just ordering part# 63-21-7-154-158 and doing it myself if it is an easy install. Anybody else done this, and any other parts recommended? Thanks,

Steven

What about the dealer replacing it under warranty?

I see your car is an 2009.

Should be under warranty.

Looks like you have an E90. I got a turn signal error message (LEDs were acting very strange...sometimes would work and sometimes wouldn't) a couple months ago and dealer replaced both of the outside taillight assemblies under warranty per the SIB.

Sounds like OP broke the taillight as in cracked, which is not covered under the warranty?

It's easy. Look on the the series DIY and you will find one instruction. Pop a few plugs and unscrew a few screws then replace it.

Yep, the taillight is physically broken (non-warranty). Thanks for the info!
