Original BMW Right Tail Light Assembly for BMW E38 740i, 740iL, and 750iL (1995–1999)

This Original BMW right tail light assembly is the factory rear lamp for the right side of the E38 BMW 740i, 740iL, and 750iL built between 1995 and 1999. BMW names the part Tail light right and supplies it as one complete assembly weighing 1.4 kg (3.2 lb). BMW's parts data shows production of this number starting in September 1994, and the lamp is made in Germany. One number covers every E38 engine in that range, from the M60 and M62 in the 740i and 740iL to the M73 and M73N in the 750iL. A tail light assembly carries the lens and reflectors and holds the bulbs for a car's rear lighting, so it is what following drivers watch when the car brakes or signals a turn.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

The 740i, 740iL, and 750iL all take this same lamp, so one number serves those E38 models regardless of engine. This part is the right-hand unit only. BMW supplies it as a complete assembly, so the lens and housing arrive together as one part.

Common Questions

How can I tell the lamp housing has failed?
A cracked or broken lens, or moisture building up behind the lens, means the housing no longer seals. Once water gets inside, it corrodes the electrical contacts and wiring, and the lamp starts to malfunction.

Why does my tail light keep burning out bulbs?
Frequent bulb burnouts can come from excessive vibration, poor-quality bulbs, or an electrical problem in the wiring harness.

Is this a new part?
Yes, it is a brand new, unused Original BMW tail light assembly.

A sealed, clear lamp keeps the back of an E38 looking and working the way BMW built it.
