{"product_id":"bmw-bulb-carrier-12","title":"Original BMW Left Taillight Bulb Carrier for BMW 228i, 230i, M235i, and M240i (2014–2017)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Original BMW left taillight bulb carrier holds the bulbs for the left rear lamp on the F22 2 Series coupe, covering the 228i, 230i, M235i, and M240i from 2014–2017. BMW names it the left bulb socket and assigns it part number 63-21-7-370-291. It weighs 390 g (about 0.9 lb). BMW sells it individually, and production of this number began in November 2013. A taillight bulb carrier positions each bulb behind its section of the lens and carries the contacts that connect the bulbs to the wiring harness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis carrier is for the left side only, so check which taillight you are working on before you order. BMW keeps one number across every F22 version in the fitment, and the xDrive cars share it with their rear-wheel-drive counterparts. A 2014 228i and a 2017 M240i xDrive take the identical left carrier, even though the 2017 cars moved to new engines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (Original BMW Parts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 63-21-7-370-291\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: bulb socket, left\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: left taillight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 390 g (0.9 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: November 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis: F22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this carrier fit the right taillight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. BMW designates this number for the left side, and the right side uses a different part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat problems point to a failing taillight socket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCorrosion on the electrical contacts, water inside the lamp housing, and repeated bulb failures are common causes.
