Ok so I had my brother do my emissions today and it failed for the lack of a engine light when the ignition is turn to first position. I never noticed that there was no light everytime I started it. So I removed the cluster to see I can just replace the burnt bulb. Well no bulb just a soldered LED thing. But the problem is no LED thing was there. It looked like someone snapped it off in ordered to get rid of the light. I can see some scratch markes around where the LED used to be, NICE!!!

So it looks like I have to get a new cluster from the dealer.
I was suppose to have BMW replace the cluster with no cost, but the service techs couldn't find 12v at the service port under the dash. I figured out that there was a wire disconnected from when I installed my Headunit. Now I hope they will still honor the replacement gauge. BTW anyone no if the dealer will have an issue installing a used gauge (ebay,etc..) if I can't get a free one through them? Rob
