Original BMW Right Taillight for BMW E36 325i, 328i, and M3 (1992–1998)

The Original BMW right taillight, part 63-21-1-393-432, is the complete rear lamp assembly for the E36 BMW 325i, 328i, and M3, built to DOT specification with an amber turn signal. A taillight assembly houses the lens, reflectors, and lamp positions for the tail, brake, reverse, and turn signal functions, and it lets drivers behind you see the car and read your braking and turning. BMW names it the right tail light, and this unit weighs 1 kg (2.3 lb). It is made in Germany and sold as one piece. BMW shows the current number in production from March 1991.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This lamp superseded 63-21-1-393-428, and BMW rates the newer number as a replacement for cars built with the earlier lamp. BMW's data ties it to the E36 with the M50 engine in the 325i, the M52 in the 328i, and the S52 in the M3 3.2. It is the right-hand unit, which sits on the passenger side of a U.S. car, and the left side is a separate part. On E36 cars the circuit board is built into the lamp itself, which is why replacing the whole assembly is generally the only fix for a lamp that has stopped working.

Common Questions

Are bulbs included with this taillight?
No. The bulbs and bulb holders are not part of the assembly.

Does moisture inside the lens mean the lamp needs replacing?
Moisture buildup shows water is getting into the housing, which corrodes the electrical contacts and wiring and can stop the lamp from working. A cracked lens should also be replaced to prevent further damage.
