Original BMW Bulb Socket, Right Rear Fender Tail Light, BMW E46 325i/325xi/330i/330xi (2001–2005)

Made in Germany, this Original BMW right bulb socket is the factory carrier for the passenger-side fender tail light on BMW 325i, 325xi, 330i, and 330xi models from the E46 3 Series between 2001–2005, and it ships with the BMW bulbs it needs. It supersedes BMW number 63-21-6-907-936 and has been in production since November 2004. BMW rates the change as exchangeable retrospectively, so this socket goes into earlier cars that came with the old number. Inside the lamp, the socket locks into the housing, holds each bulb in position, and links them to the wiring harness.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Two details decide whether this is your part. First, it belongs to the light in the rear fender, not the one in the trunk lid. Second, it suits cars built from 9/2001 on. This socket is sold individually.
