Does anyone know if there is a domestic replacement for the clock bulb for the series I Disco?
I'm only finding the bulb and holder combo on atlantic british or ebay and they all are coming from england. That's a lot of shipping for just a bulb but I'm tired of not seeing the clock so I might have to justy pay it.

 

Take the bad bulb out, go to AutoZone, buy new bulb.
The part number for the bulb will be on the old one, cross reference it at the store.
$5, done.

 

Yep, got mine at NAPA, after dealers in Orlando and Columbia SC did not stock that part for the "older trucks" - robbin bastids!

 

On my d1, I got it at a BMW repair shop.

 

No part number on the bulb, just 12/1.2 on the holder which i guess is 12 volts/1.2 watts.

 

here is what it looks like, i went to the parts store and they have bare bulbs but none with the attached metal piece. The wires from the bulb seem to be crimped into the metal piece, im not sure if I can get the old wires out and new ones in.
here are some pics.

The little metal pieces are part of the bulb holder. You'd have to solder on the wires of the new bulb. That's why I just spent the buck or whatever it was to the independant BMW guy. It was an exact fit.

 

Have you tried radio shack?

 

no, didnt even think about them. it's worth a shot.
