Original BMW Trunk Lid Luggage Compartment Light for BMW X5 E53 and Z8 E52 (2000–2006)

This Original BMW trunk light is the luggage compartment lamp in the trunk lid of the E53 X5 and the E52 Z8, lighting the cargo area when the lid opens. BMW names it the luggage compartment light for the trunk lid, part number 63-31-6-962-044. It weighs just 23 grams and comes with its bulbs. BMW began building this number in December 2004, yet it serves both models from the 2000 model year onward. A courtesy lamp like this switches on when the lid opens and gives you light for loading and unloading after dark.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Part 63-31-6-962-044 supersedes the earlier 63-31-8-382-358. BMW rates the newer number as interchangeable on older cars, so an early X5 or Z8 that left the factory with the previous lamp takes this one directly. The same light covers the six-cylinder X5 3.0i with the M54 engine, the V8 X5 4.4i in both M62 and later N62 form, and the Z8 with its S62 V8.
