Original BMW Door Floor Courtesy Light for BMW 5 Series E39, X5 E53, and Z8 E52 (1997–2006)

Clipped to the underside of the door panel, this Original BMW floor lamp is the courtesy light that lights the ground beside the door on the E39 5 Series, E53 X5, and E52 Z8 from 1997–2006. It comes with a 12V 5W festoon bulb. The housing weighs 18 g and is made in Germany. Because of the way it clips in, the stock lamp is known to break and hang loose from the door panel. A puddle light like this switches on with the door opening, so a broken one leaves the step-out area dark.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

BMW now supplies this number, introduced in December 2004, in place of the earlier lamp 63 31 8 363 604. BMW rates the newer lamp as backward compatible with every earlier car it covers. BMW's parts name for it is floor lamp, and it is also called an interior door light or floor light.
