Damaged high beam bulb holder clip- available??

[stehanson]

Hi guys,

Noticed the other day that the H7 high beam bulb was not located in the light cluster correctly (pushed further back into the hole) assumed the clip had worked loose, having taken the inspection panels, I took it out and it seems the previous owner (or one of them) has managed to physically bend the metal clip that slots onto the end of the wires (the removeable metal sleeve the bulb sits against) having taken it off I tried to straighten it as the two retaining clips that lock into the light cluster are misaligned, it looked straight but obviously wasn't straight enough as it still wont clip into the housing.

Does anyone know if this part can be ordered (just the metal end sleeve) or have any info on it?

Many thanks Ste

Number 14 in the diagram? If yes, it appears to be available.

Thats the one

Thank you for that, I had a quick look on there last night and got as far as electrical system and couldn't see lights!

Is that part no a generic BMW no to be used at any uk dealer?

Thanks again

Yeah, why aren't lights under electrical?? The organisation is often illogical.

Yep, part numbers used by BMW worldwide. Just watch the application is correct. With the realoem site, it's best to note the breadcrumb to the illustration, then re-enter your vehicle specifics to ensure correct part numbers, then re-trace the steps back to the illustration. I did start my search with your car, not mine, but I guessed at the year. In this case for this particular part, it shouldn't matter. You can also double check application by entering the part number in the appropriate box and checking the application list.
