Looking for part number for Rear Climate Cntl light
 

For some reason BMW saved about $1 and left out the bulb which provides backlighting to the temperature dial on the optional Rear Climate Control.
The opening is there. The wiring (pin #7 & #8) are populated on the wiring harness leading to the rear vent. But the wires, bulb holder and bulb are MIA.

I can't seem to find it in ETK...

Just in case someone want's to pull their's apart it's quite simple...

1. Open center armrest and pull storage bin up and out
2. Remove 2 sheet metal screws (#2 Phillips) from rear of storage bin, near hinge
3. Pull buttom of rear vent from above rear cupholders (open rear cupholders first)

For installation, line up the fabric ductwork with the rear vent while pushing the rear vent in place.

hi mate iam going to put a light in my x but what bulb holder are you using thanks paul

That's the problem. I don't have the bulb holder for the rear vent and am looking for the part number so I can order one...

i used to have a cavalier 4x4 turbo and the clock had the same bulb holder and i have a few clocks too so i might try one if it works ill send you a pic. paul
