Left tail light housing question

bennettdavis · 10-16-2013, 07:34 PM

Anyone have a good place to purchase a left inner tail light housing for a 2007 BMW 335i. I don't need the lens I just need the housing that the bulbs fit into.

side note, when changing out the bubs in this flimsy housing unit it is so easy to break the little clip that hold the housing in. If anyone has done anything unique to keep the housing in without purchasing a new piece completely, Id love to hear it. Gorilla glue???

Find the part number (realoem.com) for the bulb holder and order it from Tischer (getbmwparts.com) or the dealer. Or look for a used tail light on ebay, shouldn't be that expensive.

You can check this video out

OR get some epoxy paste , it acts more like clay before it dries. Its easier to work with and after it dries you can sand and make it look nice.
