{"product_id":"bmw-bulb-socket-30","title":"Original BMW P21W Bulb Socket for BMW E30 3 Series, E34 5 Series, and E32 and E38 7 Series (1984–2001)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt to take a P21W bulb, the Original BMW 63-21-8-355-883 is a bulb socket that holds and powers a lamp in the lighting units of the E30 3 Series, E34 5 Series, and E32 and E38 7 Series, covering 1984–2001 models. A bulb socket locks the bulb into its housing and carries current to the bulb's contacts, so a worn or loose socket can make a good bulb flicker or stay dark. This one weighs 8 g and is made in Germany. BMW's parts data shows production of this number starting in January 1991. Owners of earlier E30 cars therefore receive the later-production socket, which BMW has kept as the part for those models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe socket's main value is how many cars share it. BMW uses this one P21W number across four chassis generations, from the M20-powered E30 325e through the V12 E38 750iL. That simplifies stocking a spare for more than one car in the garage. BMW does not tie the socket to one lamp position in its parts data. Before ordering, compare the socket in your lamp with the photo and confirm it takes a P21W bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW, Original BMW part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 63-21-8-355-883\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: bulb socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulb type: P21W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8 g (0.28 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: January 1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a single socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulb does this socket take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBMW rates it for a P21W bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit my 1985 325e even though production started in 1991?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
