Rear Light bulb change / tailgate part
 

Hello, can anyone help with instructions how to change to rear light bulb?
It is the section on the actual tailgate. One of the 4 red colored links does not light anymore. Also is there a standart lightbulb or some special part for that?

(tried to used search but no luck)

I would like to update this topic:
the :"LED" strip have to be replaced as a whole lighting unit including the actual light plastic trim
in the mean time the fog light BULB within the same light has gone. any idea how to replace it? how to reach it? is it possible from the inside or I have to remove the whole lighting housing from the car? thanks

its not a bulb, you have to change the whole part, meaning entire light fixture

thanks, is it a DIY or dealer fix?

if you are on warranty then its dealer, otherwise you can order it yourself it would come out much cheaper (getbmwparts.com) and either install it yourself or have any mechanic do it. (plug in connector and sealant tape around the fixture)

just got of the phone with the dealer, they say in this case the wholeunit including the actual part of plastic (trim) has to be replaced, the whole big thing inside outside.
can anyone confirm? cca $200
nice price for a bulb

confirmed
see my post above!

Isn't it just case of replacing the bulb number 6??

$200 to replace a burnt out $2.00 bulb. Some smart thinking by those BMW engineers.

#6 refers to the rear foglight. I think the person means the strip of LEDs above that.
